Who came up with the Bose-Einstein condensate?

  • Albert Einstein and Satyendra Nath Bose

  • Marie Curie

  • Isaac Newton

  • Galileo Galilei

Answer

Albert Einstein and Satyendra Nath Bose were the first to propose the existence of a state of matter known as the Bose-Einstein condensate. This state of matter occurs when a large number of bosons, which are particles that have no intrinsic spin, are cooled to very low temperatures. In this state, the bosons behave as a single entity and exhibit wave-like properties.
