In 1925, Einstein predicted that at low temperatures particles in a gas could all reside in the same quantum state. This gaseous state was first produced in 1995. This book explains phenomena in ultracold gases from basic principles, without assuming a detailed knowledge of atomic condensed matter, and nuclear physics.
