Does Bose Einsteine Condesate violate the Pauli Exclusion Principle?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
No, because Bosons are not under it. Fermions are however, and they cannot form a BEC.
 
Fermions can form superfluids and superconductors.
The superconducting ground state is formed by a collection of Cooper pairs that are again bosonic. So you could say that it is sort of a BEC but the mechanism is very different.
 
Ahh, of course. Thanks for refreshing my memory.
 

Thread 'Schrödinger equation and classical wave equation'

Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Thread 'Is Maxwell's electromagnetism an effective (field) theory?'

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
