Bose-Einstein condensation of photons
A Bose-Einstein condensate can be made of photons. The photons are held at thermodynamic equilibrium in a dye-filled microcavity and pumped with a laser. Thermalisation can be demonstrated and above the threshold a Bose-Einstein condensate will form. A Mach-Zehnder interferometer is built and used t...
