This proposal concerns the subject of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in trapped Bose gases. At ultra-low temperatures, a gas of bosonic atoms exhibits a kind of condensation in which most of the atoms fall into the lowest available quantum state. In this novel state of matter, the atoms act coherently, and exhibit quantum behaviour on scales approaching macroscopic dimensions. The implications are far-reaching and profound. Potential applications include atomic lasers, atomic lithography and quantum computing.

这个提议涉及囚禁玻色气体中的玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚(BEC)的问题。在超低温下，玻色原子的气体表现出一种凝聚，其中大多数原子处于最低可用量子态。在这种新的物质状态下，原子相互作用，在接近宏观尺度的尺度上表现出量子行为。其影响是深远和深远的。潜在的应用包括原子激光、原子光刻和量子计算。
