BEC (Bose-Einstein Condensate)Formation

A Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) forms when a group of very cold atoms, cooled near absolute zero, behave collectively as a single quantum entity. At such low temperatures, the atoms slow down significantly, and their quantum states overlap, causing them to act in unison rather than as independent particles. This results in a new state of matter where the atoms share the same space and quantum properties, revealing extraordinary quantum behaviors on a macroscopic scale. BECs help scientists explore fundamental physics and have potential applications in precision measurements and quantum technologies.
