Abstract:
Bose-Einstein Condensation is a phenomenon at the heart of many of the past century's most intriguing and fundamental manifestations, such as superfluidity and superconductivity: it was discovered theoretically some 100 years ago, and unequivocally experimentally demonstrated in the context of weakly-interacting gases 30 years ago. Since then, it has revolutionised our understanding of the collective quantum behaviour of matter. Such a phenomenon manifests itself across all physical scales, from the nuclear and atomic, all the way to the astrophysical, and has paved the way for novel technological applications.

Consider the electromagnetic wave passing through a dielectric medium. In such a case, Maxwell's equations get modified. In Ampere's law, ε0 , the dielectric permittivity of free space is replaced with ε, the permittivity of dielectric. Also, the vacuum permeability μ0 is replaced by the permeability of the...
