Cornell – Wieman experiment: Cooling two thousand Rubidium-87 atoms to below 170 nK using combination of laser cooling and magnetic evaporative cooling. Ketterle (MIT) experiment Cooled some hundred times more atoms (Na23) , and was able to demonstrate quantum mechanical interference between two BEC.

2 Polarization states Photon Gas Photon energy N is a function of temperature At equilibrium, fugacity, z, rises to maximum value of 1
Pressure By comparing with the equation for U, we find that the pressure-energy relation for the photon gas is
