- India has a strong presence in cold- and ultracold-atom physics.
- Ultracold atoms are cooled near absolute zero (−273.15°C), where quantum effects dominate.
- Atoms can form Bose–Einstein Condensates, behaving like a single “super-atom”.
- Laser cooling slows atoms using photon momentum.
- Applications include atomic clocks, GPS systems, quantum sensors, quantum simulators, and quantum computers.
