Fermionic condensate

<p>A fermionic condensate (or Fermi–Dirac condensate) is a <a href="/facts/Superfluid/QuePDujN">superfluid</a> <a href="/facts/Phase_(matter)/NkHXDdN3">phase</a> formed by <a href="/facts/Fermion/LEckdDsR">fermionic</a> particles at low <a href="/facts/Temperature/QyGe4gmj">temperatures</a>. It is closely related to the <a href="/facts/Bose%E2%80%93Einstein_condensate/76peCwfW">Bose–Einstein condensate</a>, a superfluid phase formed by <a href="/facts/Boson/XtPFcjb5">bosonic</a> atoms under similar conditions. The earliest recognized fermionic condensate described the state of <a href="/facts/Electron/L0KBo5cW">electrons</a> in a <a href="/facts/Superconductivity/pqQAlSzJ">superconductor</a>; the physics of other examples including recent work with fermionic <a href="/facts/Atom/FoQ4kGN5">atoms</a> is analogous. The first atomic fermionic condensate was created by a team led by <a href="/facts/Deborah_S._Jin/Ay99kfqc">Deborah S. Jin</a> using <a href="/facts/Potassium-40/RMnkrhvc">potassium-40</a> atoms at the <a href="/facts/University_of_Colorado_Boulder/SzsmJFb7">University of Colorado Boulder</a> in 2003.
