Welcome

Welcome to Ultracold Quantum Gas Lab in Osaka City University!

Cooling things reduces the number of "states" that a material can have, and as a result, reveals the characteristics of each quantum mechanical state. A good example is the Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC), which is obtained by cooling Bose particles to cryogenic temperatures. The theme of our laboratory is to cool the atomic gas isolated in the electromagnetic potential to cryogenic temperature, and to explore the new form of matter.
