What does BEC stand for in physics?
Big Electron Collider
Bose-Einstein Condensate
Baryon Energy Complex
Basic Elemental Coalescence
Answer
Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) occurs when a large number of bosons, particles with integer spin, are cooled to extremely low temperatures, causing them to lose their individual identities and behave as a single quantum mechanical entity. This remarkable state of matter exhibits unique properties, such as coherence and superfluidity, and has profound implications in quantum mechanics and the study of ultracold atomic gases.
