What is… Bose-Einstein condensation?
Vortrag von Diane Saint Aubin

''A Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is a state of matter that is formed when a low-density gas of bosons is cooled to near absolute zero. Under these conditions, a majority of the particles occupy the same quantum state and quantum effects become apparent. First predicted by Bose and Einstein a century ago, BECs were realised in laboratories over eight decades later and led to the Nobel price in 2001. Since then, many progresses have been made in the rigorous study and understanding of quantum many-body systems from a mathematical point of view. In this talk we will give an introduction to quantum mechanics and to the mathematical description of quantum many-body systems. We will then present a formal definition of BEC.''
