Rotating condensates put new spin on superfluidity. (News Briefs).(Brief Article)

Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology | May 1, 2002 | Copyright

Scientists at NIST have been studying the behavior of Bose-Einstein condensates subject to rotation of the trap, which is a key issue in the phenomenon of superfluidity. When the trap is subject to a low rate of rotation, the condensate does not exhibit any net circulation, unlike a classical fluid that will circulate with the trap. Nevertheless, the condensate does acquire some angular momentum, which results in an anisotropic density distribution.

NIST scientists had the simple theoretical insight that when a condensate is released from a rotating trap it flies ...
