BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATION
From Atomic Physics to Quantum Fluids
Proceedings of the Thirteenth Physics Summer School
Canberra, Australia, 17 – 28 January 2000
edited by Craig M Savage (The Australian National University) & Mukunda P Das (The Australian National University)
Bose-Einstein condensation of dilute gases is an exciting new field of interdisciplinary physics. The eight chapters in this volume introduce its theoretical and experimental foundations. The authors are lucid expositors who have also made outstanding contributions to the field. They include theorists Tony Leggett, Allan Griffin and Keith Burnett, and Nobel-Prize-winning experimentalist Bill Phillips. In addition to the introductory material, there are articles treating topics at the forefront of research, such as experimental quantum phase engineering of condensates, the “superchemistry” of interacting atomic and molecular condensates, and atom laser theory.
