Abstract The phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation of dilute gases in traps is
reviewed from a theoretical perspective. Mean-field theory provides a framework to …

The author presents a tutorial review of some ideas that are basic to our current
understanding of the phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in the dilute atomic …

We review recent developments in the physics of ultracold atomic and molecular gases in
optical lattices. Such systems are nearly perfect realisations of various kinds of Hubbard …

We have created vortices in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates. The vortex state
was created through a coherent process involving the spatial and temporal control of …

Spinor Bose gases form a family of quantum fluids manifesting both magnetic order and<?
format?> superfluidity. This article reviews experimental and theoretical progress in …

Bose-Einstein condensation, or BEC, has a long and rich history dating from the early
1920s. In this article we will trace briefly over this history and some of the developments in …

Atom chips provide a versatile quantum laboratory for experiments with ultracold atomic
gases. They have been used in diverse experiments involving low-dimensional quantum …

We describe the first experiments that study in a controlled way the dynamics of
distinguishable and interpenetrating bosonic quantum fluids. We work with a two-component …

The realization of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEe) in dilute atomic gases [1-5] achieved
several long-standing goals. First, neutral atoms were cooled into the lowest energy state …

We demonstrate a continuous output coupler for magnetically trapped atoms. Over a period
of up to 100 ms, a collimated and monoenergetic beam of atoms is continuously extracted …
