Experimentally Created Bose-Einstein Condensate

Caption

This is an image of an experimentally created Bose-Einstein condensate containing the monopole (left) and the corresponding theoretical prediction (right). Brighter area has higher particle density and the different colors denote the internal spin state of the atoms. The monopole is located in the center of the condensate.
