It has been a long-standing goal to understand the quantum physics of interacting quantum many-body systems. From the experimental side, the realization of Bose-Einstein condensates in 1995 provided scientists with such a system that is under almost perfect control: the confinement, the strength of interactions, and even the dimensionality of the Bose-Einstein condensate – a vapor of ultracold bosonic atoms held and cooled with lasers and magnetic fields – can be altered almost at will.
