Bose Einstein Condensate Original Paper

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The original paper on Bose-Einstein condensate, authored by Albert Einstein and Satyendranath Bose, was published in 1925. Participants in the discussion highlighted the importance of distinguishing between the original discovery paper and Eric Cornell's later work on its creation. A translation error was noted in the English version of the original paper, where Satyendranath Bose was incorrectly referred to as Mr. D. Bose. For further research, links to the original paper and subsequent publications were provided, including resources from the Einstein Paper Project.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Bose-Einstein statistics
  • Familiarity with quantum mechanics concepts
  • Knowledge of scientific publication history
  • Ability to navigate academic resources and databases
NEXT STEPS
  • Read the original 1925 paper by Einstein and Bose on Bose-Einstein condensation
  • Explore Eric Cornell's research on the experimental realization of Bose-Einstein condensates
  • Investigate the Einstein Paper Project for high-quality publications
  • Review the translation discrepancies in scientific literature
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, researchers in quantum mechanics, historians of science, and students studying condensed matter physics will benefit from this discussion.

Anyone has the original paper on the Bose-Einstein condensate? Searched on Google without any success.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Are you referring to the original paper Eric Cornell which described its creation, or the paper that first described it?

The paper written by Einstein and Satyendranath Bose announcing their discovery.

That's a good observation. There is only one answer to that question. In the English translation (first link), in the very first paragraph, it's written Mr. D. Bose, whereas it should have been Mr. S. Bose. That's the only problem. Translation error? Let me ask for clarification from the person who posted the answer.

Hmm, perhaps it's a translation error.

Anyways, in the second link, you could take a look at the "Acknowledgements" section - there are 2 more links you could follow to keep digging around

The first URL is obsolete, while the second is already there in the answer.
