In attempting the first synthesis of this type of substance, Wolfgang Ketterle worked with sodium atoms, while contemporaneously Eric Cornell and Carl Wieman succeeded with rubidium atoms.
The creation of this type of substance generally starts by putting atoms in a magneto-optical trap, immediately followed by an evaporative method. In attempting the first synthesis of this type of substance, Wolfgang Ketterle worked with sodium atoms, while contemporaneously Eric Cornell and Carl Wieman succeeded with rubidium atoms. Atoms in this type of substance are all at the lowest quantum level. For 10 points, name this "fifth state of matter" in which atoms are brought very close to absolute zero in a substance named after a German and an Indian physicist.
