Physics 4230: Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics
Instructor: John Price
Quantized rotation vortices in a dilute-gas Bose-Einstein condensate from Eric Cornell's lab at JILA. You can get details from the Los Alamos e-print server. JILA is the world's leader in BEC research.
In Chapter 7 of Schroeder we learn about quantum degererate systems like metals, white dwarfs, and Bose-Einstein condensates. The final exam is Saturday, May 3, 7:30-10:00 pm. You can bring two sheets of handwritten notes.
Chapter 7 of Schroeder.
