Multipolar boson stars: Macroscopic Bose-Einstein condensates akin to hydrogen orbitals

Boson stars are often described as macroscopic Bose-Einstein condensates. By accommodating large numbers of bosons in the same quantum state, they materialize macroscopically the intangible probability density cloud of a single particle in the quantum world. We take this interpretation of boson star...
