Creation of a Bose-condensed gas of ⁸⁷Rb by laser cooling

Protocols for attaining quantum degeneracy in atomic gases almost exclusively rely on evaporative cooling, a time-consuming final step associated with substantial atom loss. We demonstrate direct laser cooling of a gas of rubidium-87 (⁸⁷Rb) atoms to quantum degeneracy. The method is fast and induces...
