In addition, Laser COOLING can generate an internal, localized BEC.

Note that they used lasers to REMOVE energy from the system (to COOL it).
That’s what KP Sinha did, and also, what Ed Storms was unaware of here on
Vortex-L until I pointed it out.

Pinning Transition from a Luttinger-liquid to an insulated phase
Mott-insulator
*Pinning atoms into order: In an international first, physicists of the
University of Innsbruck, Austria have experimentally observed a quantum
phenomenon, where an arbitrarily weak perturbation causes atoms to build an
organized structure from an initially unorganized one. The scientific team
headed by Hanns-Christoph Nägerl has published a paper about quantum phase
transitions in a one dimensional quantum lattice in the scientific journal
Nature.*
With a Bose-Einstein condensate of cesium atoms, scientists at the
Institute for Experimental Physics of the University of Innsbruck have
created one dimensional structures in an optical lattice of laser light. In
these quantum lattices or wires the single atoms are aligned next to each
other with laser light preventing them from breaking ranks
