Is it that correct to say that ions ina B-E condensate rotate at around 10^15 rpm? (don't know the exact english term for this, sorry).

A Bose-Einstein condensate is a state of matter that occurs when a group of bosons, which are particles with integer spin, are cooled to a very low temperature and occupy the same quantum state. This results in all particles behaving as one collective entity, exhibiting unique properties such as superfluidity and coherence.
A Bose-Einstein condensate is created by cooling a gas of bosons to a temperature close to absolute zero, typically using laser cooling techniques. As the temperature decreases, more and more bosons occupy the lowest energy state, until they all occupy the same state and form the condensate.
Bose-Einstein condensates have been a subject of intense research since their first experimental realization in 1995. They provide a unique system to study quantum phenomena on a macroscopic scale and have potential applications in various fields such as quantum computing and precision measurements.
Ions, which have half-integer spin, can also be used to create a Bose-Einstein condensate. In this case, the spin of the ions is used to cool and trap them, allowing for the formation of a condensate. Additionally, the spin of ions can be manipulated through external fields, making them useful for studying quantum spin dynamics.
Bose-Einstein condensates and ions spin have been used to demonstrate quantum entanglement, which is a phenomenon where two or more particles become correlated in a way that their quantum states are dependent on each other. This has important implications for quantum information processing and communication.
