Phase transition The shadow cast by a condensate BEC @ MIT, Sept. ‘95
Collective excitation in TOF(observed in ballistic expansion)
Sloshing motion Direct non-destructive observation of collective excitations 10 msec. per frame
Shape oscillation Shape oscillations “Non-destructive” observation of a time-dependent wave function 5 milliseconds per frame
