物质的新状态——玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚——2001年诺贝尔物理奖介绍

Boseeinstein condensate, a new state of matter—an introduction to the 2001 nobel prize in physics

摘要: 国国家标准和技术研究所的Eric A.Cornell教授，美国麻省理工学院的Wolfgang Ketterle教授与美国科罗拉多大学的Carl E.Wieman教授由于“在稀薄的碱金属气体中成功地获得玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚，并且对凝聚体特性进行的早期基础性研究”方面的贡献，而荣获2001年诺贝尔物理奖，文章介绍了该研究的背景、三位诺贝尔奖得主的贡献及其意义.

Abstract: The Nobel Prize in Physics 2001 was awarded to Eric. A.Cornell, Wolfgang Ketterle, and Carl.E.Wieman for “the achievement of BoseEinstein condensation in dilute gases of alkali atoms, and for early fundamental studies of the properties of the condensate”. We give a brief introduction to the reaearch background, the contribution of the laureates and the significance of BoseEinstein condensation.
