Résumé

... well-written ... The book contains a comprehensive introduction to BEC for physicists new to the field as well as a lot of detail and insight for those already familiar with this area.

Journal of Physics

Bose-Einstein condensation represents a new state of matter and is one of the cornerstones of quantum physics, resulting in the 2001 Nobel Prize. Providing a useful introduction to one of the most exciting fields of physics today, this text will be of interest to a growing community of physicists, and is easily accessible to non-specialists alike.

Readership: Students and researchers (both experimentalists and theorists) working in the fields of atomic and molecular physics, quantum optics, and statistical physics. Bose Einstein Condensation is receiving more and more interest from other areas of physics as well, including condensed matter physics, mathematical physics, and field theory.

Nobel Prize-winning subject (2001)
Provides basic description of most important experiments on BEC
Includes the most important theoretical formulae needed to decribe BEC
Balanced presentation of conceptual and formal results
Numerous photographs and figures
