Symmetry Breaking in Bose-Einstein Condensates
Symmetry Breaking in Bose-Einstein Condensates
A gaseous BoseāEinstein condensate (BEC) offers an ideal testing ground for studying symmetry breaking, because a trapped BEC system is in a mesoscopic regime, and situations exist under which symmetry breaking may or may not occur. Investigating this problem can explain why meanāfield theories have been so successful in elucidating ā¦
