Question

What is Bose Einstein condensate

Answer 1

Answer:

◽In 1920. Indian Physicist Satyendra Nath Bose had done some calculations for a fifth state of matter.

◽Based on his calculation, Albert Einstein predicted a new state of matter--the Bose-Einstein condensate.

◽The BEC is formed by cooling a gas of extremely low density, about

one hundred-thousandth the density normal air to super low temperature.

◽In 2001, Eric A. Cornell, Wolfgang Ketterle and Carl E. Wieman of USA received the Nobel Prize in Physics for achieving "Bose-Einstein Condensation".

______✌

Answer 2

The proposed areas of applications of bose-einstein condensate are: Quantum information processing- concept of quantum computer. Precision measurement by development of most sensitive detectors using BEC. Development of optical lattices which could be easily modifiable by varying the interplanar spacing etc.
