This episode of the Hyperthesis features Denise Kamp, a PhD student in theoretical physics at McMaster University who studies dynamical instabilities in Bose-Enstein Condensates (BECs). These instabilities in form when a BEC is trapped in a double-well potential barrier and when a BEC is rotated in a donut shaped toroidal trap. We start the episode by discussing a proposal to use BECs as gravitational wave detectors, and finish off with a short history of BEC experiments.
