Einstein: condensation in the ideal quantum gas

Contribution grade

Quantum statistical mechanics · theoretical prediction

Reference score300,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Quantum statistics predicted a new collective low-temperature state of matter.

Scientific scope

The second 1925 paper's ideal-gas prediction; experimental condensates and interacting-gas theory are excluded.

Evidence

The linked sources identify this contribution and its scope. WRS has not independently reconstructed the scientific claims. The claim is confined to the second paper and its ideal-gas prediction; experimental condensates and later interacting-gas theory are separate.
