At sufficiently low temperatures the phase fluctuations are suppressed and the quasicondensate turns into a true condensate. The presence of the phase fluctuations allows for extending thermometry of Bose-condensed gases well below those established in current experiments.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2001-04-26T16:23:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "phase-fluctuating 3d condensates", "elongated traps", "bec transition temperature tc", "phase fluctuations", "elongated 3d trapped bose gases" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
