atom lasers

An atom laser is a device that produces a coherent beam of atoms, similar to how an optical laser emits a focused beam of light. It uses a state of matter called a Bose-Einstein condensate, where many atoms behave collectively as a single quantum entity. Through precise control methods, atoms are extracted from this condensate, creating a continuous, directed flow of atoms with the same quantum properties. This allows for highly precise applications in measurement, quantum computing, and fundamental physics research, advancing our ability to manipulate matter at its most fundamental level.
