A second century of Einstein?Bose–Einstein condensation and quantum information

A century ago Albert Einstein transformed classical physics with his seminal papers on Brownian motion, the Photoelectric effect, and, of course, special and later general relativity. Lesser well-known are his contributions to Bose–Einstein Condensation and the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen paradox, the l...

Summary:A century ago Albert Einstein transformed classical physics with his seminal papers on Brownian motion, the Photoelectric effect, and, of course, special and later general relativity. Lesser well-known are his contributions to Bose–Einstein Condensation and the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen paradox, the latter being a criticism of Quantum Mechanics. These later works were regarded even by physicists for decades as mere Gedanken or thought experiments. In recent years, not only have they been verified experimentally but revolutionary technological applications are emerging including quantum cryptography and possibly quantum computing.
