Schedule A NEW FORM OF MATTER: Bose-Einstein Condensation and the Atom Laser Wolfgang Ketterle, MIT Bose-Einstein condensed atoms are a novel form of matter which consists of a giant matter wave. They are produced by cooling a dilute atomic gas to the lowest temperatures ever achieved. Professor Ketterle will describe how matter is manipulated and observed at such low temperatures, and how Bose ...
