AbstractIn this study, we consider a gas in the Morris–Thorne traversable wormhole space-time, and analyze the critical temperature of the Bose-Einstein condensate in the vicinity of its throat. Our results show that it is equal to zero. Then, from this result, we point out that a state analogous to the Josephson junction is always formed at any temperature in the vicinity of its throat. This is of interest as a gravitational phenomenology. Of course, there is the problem of the exotic matter, but we perform this work without treating it.

AbstractPlasma dynamics critically depends on density and temperature, thus well-controlled experimental realizations are essential benchmarks for theoretical models. The formation of an ultracold plasma can be triggered by ionizing a tunable number of atoms in a micrometer-sized volume of a 87Rb Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) by a single femtosecond laser pulse. The large density combined with the low temperature of the BEC give rise to an initially strongly coupled plasma in a so far unexplored regime bridging ultracold neutral plasma and ionized nanoclusters. Here, we report on ultrafast cooling of electrons, trapped on orbital trajectories in the long-range Coulomb potential of the dense ionic core, with a cooling rate of 400 K ps−1. Furthermore, our experimental setup grants direct access to the electron temperature that relaxes from 5250 K to below 10 K in less than 500 ns.
