Quantum Revolution: Columbia Physicists Create New State of Matter With Ultracold Molecules
New York City, NY – Physicists at Columbia University have achieved a groundbreaking milestone in the realm of ultracold quantum matter, creating a unique Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) from sodium-cesium molecules. This remarkable feat, detailed in the journal Nature, opens up a new frontier for exploring quantum phenomena and simulating complex materials at the quantum level. Led by Columbia physicist Sebastian Will, the experimental group at the university has succeeded in cooling the BEC to just …
