Studying the Quantum World with Bose-Einstein Condensates

Physicists are now able to create Bose-Einstein condensates from molecules, enabling the study of quantum phenomena on a macroscopic scale. These condensates, made by cooling atoms close to absolute zero, provide a tool to investigate long-range interactions and simulate complex quantum systems. Unlike atoms, molecules with long-range interactions open new possibilities for studying superconductivity and quantum many-body systems.
