In a "condensate" (sort of like water dripping of a glass of chilled Diet Doctor Pepper), the parts have to match up. The point of a Bose-Einstein condensate is that any number of BE particles may enter the lowest energy state (kind of like clowns in a Volkswagen). This is seen in Helium II where funny things happen.
