This project focused on learning and reproducing aspects of BECs. This was accomplished through background research, calculating its density of energy states when inside a parabolic trap, finding the relationship for the critical BEC temperature for BEC inside a parabolic trap, looking in depth into the paper "Quantum Phase of a Bose-Einstein Condensate with an Arbitrary Number of Atoms" [1], performing MATLAB simulations using the paper's interference phase building method, and evaluating some simulation results.

It is shown theoretically that, upon filling a ring cavity (a loop magnetic waveguide) with an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), a hysteresis dependence of the atomic number density inside the cavity on the atomic flux introduced into the cavity from the outside appears. Main parameters of the measuring system being proposed are determined: the reflectance of the magnetic mirror through which the condensate is introduced, the length of the ring cavity, and the strength of the constant magnetic field governing the BEC velocity in the cavity.
