This is due to the boson enhancement effect, whereby only magnons corresponding to the quantum state of the BEC are excited in the presence of the BEC. In this work, we report the new studies, where a set of stable condensate states that are determined by the phase relationship of the radio-frequency signal emitted by the BEC and the amplified signal fed back have been obtained.

These perturbations are described by a thermal bath with the effective “virial” temperature. Then, the electron with a sufficiently high energy, which can escape from the local potential well, should be considered as free (conducting) one; while the electron with low energy, confined within the well, as forming the Rydberg atom. As follows from our calculations, there is a sharp crossover from the insulating phase (Rydberg gas) to the conducting one (plasma) with increase in the particle density, which somewhat resembles the Mott transition in condensed-matter physics.
