This research explores phase coherence and entanglement in spin-1 Bose gas, illustrating progress and application in condensed matter systems. The study examines the Penrose-Onsager characterization of Bose condensation and the existence of a single macroscopic eigenvalue. It also investigates the possibilities of fragmented condensates and strongly correlated ground states. The paper presents a controlled way to change phase coherence using a pseudo-spin 1/2 system as an example and discusses the potential to convert coherent states into Schrödinger Cat states. The research includes findings on the dynamic evolution of spin-1 Bose gas and the effect of spin degeneracy in a deep harmonic trap.

How to change phase coherence in a controlled way?
Simple Example : Pseudo-spin 1/2 system 1 2 t Hilbert space:
BEC --> Fragmentation Coherence --> squeezing --> entanglement 1 2 t
BEC --> Fragmentation Coherence --> squeezing --> entanglement 1 2 t
BEC --> Fragmentation Coherence --> squeezing --> entanglement 1 2 t ,
BEC --> Fragmentation Coherence --> squeezing --> entanglement 1 2 t ,
BEC --> Fragmentation Coherence --> squeezing --> entanglement 1 2 t ,
Schrodinger Cat State: huge number fluctuation => very delicate Coherent State : very robust If there is a robust mechanism that can Convert the coherent state into a Schrodinger Cat state from time to time, then can realize these cat state at these specific time. Answer : Use Bosonic enhancement
