Research Unit of Trento “BEC Center” (Bose-Einstein Condensation)


The BEC Center is a joint initiative of INO and the Department of Physics of the University of Trento. It was created by the Istituto Nazionale per la Fisica della Materia in June 2002, and incorporated into the INO in 2010. The aim of the BEC Center is to promote research in the field of Bose-Einstein condensation, quantum gases and superfluidity.
