BEC 4/5: The Rubidium/Lithium Boson Lab
Welcome to the wiki of BEC 4/5. Our research focuses on exploring the world of ultracold atoms, where many new and interesting phenomena occur. BEC 4/5 is part of the group of Professors Wolfgang Ketterle and Dave Pritchard. For an overview of the Ketterle-Pritchard group see here. We are part of the Center for Ultracold Atoms , which is a National Science Foundation Physics Frontier Center.
