Research group led by prof. Krzysztof Pawłowski.
At ultra-low temperatures of hundreds of nano-kelvin, the gas can change its phase from a norma phase to the so-called Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). This is a solidly examined state, obtained in hundreds of laboratories worldwide. Do we really know the condensate that well? Unexpectedly, in 2016, another quantum state was discovered in ultra-cold gases, the so-called quantum drops, which "grew" from BEC.
The group "Quantum phases of ultracold gas" is looking for answers to questions:
What other states of matter may exist in ultracold gases? What are their properties? What can be their applications?
