A cloud of rubidium atoms falls into a trap made of light. Lasers and magnetic fields arrange it like a crystal lattice, but the cells here are not fractions of a millimeter: they are fractions of a micrometer.
In a hall with a thousand spectators, applause blends into a general noise, but if someone falls out of rhythm — a ripple runs through the crowd. The quantum world works similarly: atoms in a trap can behave as a single whole, or they can fall apart into independent individuals.
