Abstract
Experiments on Bose-Einstein Condensation in dilute atomic gases have gone far beyond realizing Einstein's original famous prediction. They have led to a whole host of new quantum systems that physicists have never encountered before. In this talk, we shall discuss some of the new quantum systems (including the spinor Bose condensate) that have been realized in the last year, as well as other novel possibilities that are being actively pursued in many laboratories around the world.
