(The image on the left shows a spin wave in
a rubidium gas parallel to an external magnetic field; the picture on the right shows the spin wave perpendicular to an external magnetic field.
Cornell and Wieman were trying to cool a puff of
rubidium gas to within a few billionths of a degree of absolute zero — colder than any place in nature, even the 2.73 kelvins of space.

She and fellow U.C.B. physicist Jun Ye recently succeeded in making a
gas of ultracold polar molecules of potassium and
rubidium near the temperature of the quantum regime where Jin previously observed a fermionic condensate.
In the image accompanying this article, the velocity - distribution data indicates the formation of a Bose — Einstein condensate out of a
gas of
rubidium atoms.
We will pursue a hybrid approach, exploiting the strong single - and two - photon absorption possible in the
gas - phase of
rubidium atoms, together with integrated - photonics, to achieve strong interactions between photons and atoms, and use these interactions to achieve efficient quantum memories, efficient photon detectors, and reliable entangling gates.
