Can Photons Undergo Einstein-Bose Condensation?

Can Einstein-Bose condensation occur in photons and if so what is this new state like for the photon , how are its wave properties?

Lasers are decent examples of macroscopically coherent quantum light. Whether you want to call it a condensate is a bit debatable, since there is no conservation of photon number in a laser. Lasers are driven out-of-equilibrium systems, so it is not a thermodynamic stable phase of light, whereas the matter BECs really are new equilibrium phases of quantum matter.

i see what makes a condensate a condensate .
