Study demonstrates many-body chemical reactions in a quantum degenerate gas
Images of atomic and molecule Bose-Einstein condensates. Panel (a) shows the image of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate of 60,000 cesium atoms at the temperature 10 nano-Kelvins. False colors are used to show the density distribution of the sample. Panel (b) shows the molecular Bose-Einstein condensate of 6,000 Cs_2 molecules that emerged from the atomic condensate as a result of the quantum…
