Features: This book is a monograph on Bose-Einstein condensation in dilute gases. As early as 1925, Einstein predicted that gaseous particles at low temperatures would be in the same quantum state in all respects. In 1995, Bose-Einstein condensation was first produced in a laboratory using strong laser methods, creating a special gaseous state called Bose-Einstein condensation. This condensation exhibits quantum phenomena on a large scale and has become an active research field in contemporary physics, involving atomic physics, condensed matter physics, and nuclear physics. This book focuses on its fundamental physical principles. The book consists of 14 chapters, each ending with problems and references, and includes an appendix of fundamental constants and conversion factors at the end. It is suitable for teachers, graduate students, and researchers in physics departments and related fields at universities, as well as those engaged in the study of new states of matter and related research. The book introduces Bose-Einstein condensation in dilute gases in full English.
