Abstract
In 1995 a combination of laser cooling and evaporative cooling techniques led to the first observation of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a magnetically trapped atomic gas, at JILA (Boulder, Colorado) [1], closely followed by a group at MIT [2]. This observation has been now reproduced by more than 10 groups in the world, including the “cold atoms” group at the ENS.
