What happens when a Bose–Einstein condensate becomes turbulent?
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
The concept of turbulence is one of physics’ most persistent challenges, defying a simple description despite decades of research. Adding quantum mechanics into the mix only makes things more complicated.
BECs are formed when atoms are cooled down to close to absolute zero. In this state they behave as a single coherent quantum fluid. They enable the observation of quantum behaviour on a macroscopic scale, enabling breakthroughs in fundamental physics and ultra‑precise technologies.
