Summary

With the achievement of Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) in a dilute, ultracold gas of alkali atoms (M.H. Anderson, J.R. Ensher, M.R. Matthews, C.E. Wieman and E.A. Cornell, Science, 269, 198 (1995)), the study of BEC and its consequences has become a topic of intense worldwide interest. For recent research, see the BEC homepage (http://amo.phy.gasou.edu/bec.html).

The review articles in this book provide an excellent source of background information about the properties of Bose-condensed systems. For the many new researchers who have become interested in studying BEC in trapped atomic gases, this book also puts the new discoveries into the wider context of the search for BEC in other physical systems. We hope this paperback edition will be a useful reference for this exciting new area of research.
