As a result, the BEC enters a so-called superposition, meaning the matter wave is simultaneously there and not there.Ooohh-kay.

Cool!! has they would say in the 1960s.

It in a flux alignment between itself and the cloud of Sodium gas particles that the matter wave is align too.

Looks like they have discovered a way to 'store' light. A light battery?

The researchers shut off the control beam long enough to give the wave time to travel the 160 microns between the BECs This is weird. The "matter wave" is not light. It is not a motion of atoms either. If I understand correctly, the atoms are confined to the BECs. Thus the matter wave is a purely quantum-mechanical construct, a wave of probability.

"As a result, the BEC enters a so-called superposition, meaning the matter wave is simultaneously there and not there."
And people still believe there can be something that is "supernatural", when science continues to show us the reality that the only thing between "natural" and "supernatural" is the length of the state of our ignorance.
