Abstract
I will discuss the work of the JILA/University of Colorado group on the creation and study of Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) in a gas of very cold rubidium atoms. Over the years, a large number of students and postdocs have contributed to this work, with Eric Cornell and myself as the coleaders of the project. The data reported in this paper were obtained by Mike Anderson, Eric Burt, Jason Ensher, Rich Ghrist, Deborah Jin, Mike Matthews and Chris Myatt. Theoretical contributions have been provided by Murray Holland, Jinx Cooper, Brett Esry and Chris Greene. In the first part of this paper, I will briefly discuss how we create and observe BEC; in the second portion, I will discuss some of the work on BEC that has been carried out at JILA in the past year.
