Scientists at National Taiwan University have developed a revolutionary technique for creating quantum gases.
The new method, published in Nature Physics, is nearly 100% efficient and approximately 100 times faster than traditional techniques.
By using lasers to trap atoms in a three-dimensional optical lattice and applying electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) alongside adiabatic expansion, the researchers rapidly cooled the atoms to form a quantum gas.
This breakthrough not only enhances the efficiency of creating quantum gases, but also provides new insights into quantum behavior, advancing research in many-body physics and quantum simulations.
