Special Issue on Research on Bose - Einstein Condensation

Bose - Einstein Condensation (BEC) is a phenomenon that occurs in a macroscopic system of bosons at low temperatures: a nonzero fraction of all the particles in the system occupy a single one-particle state. Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) was first observed in 1995 in a remarkable series of experiments on vapors of rubidium and sodium in which the atoms were confined in magnetic traps and cooled down to extremely low temperatures, of the order of fractions of micro kelvins. Since then the topic of Bose - Einstein condensation has been attracting very high attention. One of newest research hot dots in recent years is Bose condense atomic gases. The recent research showed that these trapped Bose gases are inhomogeneous and finite-sized systems, the number of atoms ranging typically from a few thousands to several millions. The fact that these gases are highly inhomogeneous has several important consequences. Many works has been done on this area. In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore research on Bose - Einstein condensation.
