These atomic gases are currently under experimental investigation at INO-CNR and LENS reaching temperatures near the absolute zero. <\/p>\n<p>The equation of state of these ultracold gases is quite different with respect to the familiar mean-field equation  due to quantum fluctuations which become increasingly important by reducing the temperature.  <\/p>\n<p>Reference:<br \/>\nL.
