Bose-Einstein Condensation
Coordinators: Keith Burnett, Ataç Imamoglu, Anthony J. Leggett
This program brought together theorists working on atomic physics, quantum optics, and condensed matter
physics to explore nonequilibrium phenomena in degenerate quantum gases. Topics covered included
dynamics of Bose condensation in finite systems(atom traps), questions of stability of the condensate,
optical properties of quantum degenerate gases, and signatures of Bose-Einstein statistics in nonequilibrium
dissipative systems, i.e., matter lasers.
