Sentence examples for A bec from inspiring English sources

(A BEC is a clump of atoms that are all in the same quantum state and hence act as a single "super atom").

A BEC of 52Cr atoms was realized [2, 3] at Stuttgart University in 2005, which paves the way towards the experimental as well as the theoretical and the numerical investigation on this novel dipolar quantum gases.

The measurement is the first to use a BEC to detect anything at all, and it hints that BECs may soon find diverse uses, from gravity sensors to supremely accurate clocks.

One of the properties of a BEC is superfluidity a state of zero viscosity.

This lowers their temperature to a still-torrid (for a BEC, anyway) few millionths of a degree above absolute zero.

Along with Wolfgang Ketterle of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), who created a BEC with sodium atoms, these researchers received the 2001 Nobel Prize for Physics.

Since then, Hau and others have completely halted and stored a light pulse within a BEC, later releasing the light unchanged or sending it to a second BEC.

In 1998 Lene Hau of Harvard University and her colleagues slowed light traveling through a BEC from its speed in vacuum of 3 × 108 metres per second to a mere 17 metres per second, or about 38 miles per hour.

Thus, restricting ourselves to the region (k_{B} Tllmu), where we can neglect thermal depletion in the atomic cloud, we conclude that thermal noise in the phononic state does not affect significantly the performance of a BEC-phononic gravitational wave detector.
