Question

Immanuel Bloch’s group transitioned one of these substances to a Mott insulator from a superfluid phase. Lene Hau transferred a beam of light carrying a qubit between two of these substances. An equation describing these substances contains a pseudopotential equal (15[1])to “four pi times h-bar (-5[1])squared (15[1])times scattering length over mass.” Collisions between two components of these substances can form a short-lived (15[1])Feshbach (15[2])resonance. The single-particle wavefunction of these substances is governed by the (*) Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Wolfgang Ketterle created one of these substances using sodium atoms, a few (10[1])months (10[1])after (-5[1])Cornell and (-5[1])Wieman created the first one by using (10[1])laser (10[2])cooling on a (10[1]-5[1])vapor of (10[2])rubidium-87 (10[2])atoms. For 10 points, identify this“fifth state (10[1])of matter” (10[2])consisting (-5[2])of ultracold atoms with integer spin. ■END■ (10[5]0[2])

ANSWER: BEC [or Bose-Einstein condensates; prompt on Bose gas or ultracold quantum gas or Fermi gas or Bose liquid or Fermi liquid; prompt on condensates]
