摘要

The bowl is only a millimeter long and a tenth of a millimeter wide, no bigger than a piece of lint. Its walls are constructed of pure light, making this "optical bowl" an appropriately ethereal container for the stuff sloshing around inside: lithium atoms that have been chilled to less than a millionth of a degree above absolute zero. But you shouldn't think of the sample trapped in this vessel of light as just a cloud of lithium (any more than you'd think of a diamond as a mere lump of carbon). Its value lies not in the atoms that make it up but in the special way they are put together―in a remarkable configuration known as a degenerate Fermi gas. Such an assemblage constitutes a new state of matter and is possibly the closest that scientists will ever come to having on their desktops a neutron star or a piece of the quark matter that made up the early universe.
