This book covers the fundamentals of and new developments in gaseous Bose–Einstein condensation. It begins with a review of fundamental concepts and theorems, and introduces basic theories describing Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC). It then discusses some recent topics such as fast-rotating BEC, spinor and dipolar BEC, low-dimensional BEC, balanced and imbalanced fermionic superfluidity including BCS-BEC crossover and unitary gas, and p-wave superfluidity.

“This book provides a wealth of valuable up-to-date information, much of it not heretofore available in one place, constituting a guide to research literature and recent developments in this area … It should benefit mainly postgraduate students with solid training in theoretical physics.”
Mathematical Reviews
“This volume is a precious jewel of scientific writing. Its facets are indeed masterly cut and polished. In combination with a superb up-to-date exposition of the field, the style stands out for being remarkably concise and crystal-clear, distinguished features which constitute the main strength of the book. The notation is kept elegant, consistent and neat throughout. A great deal of step-by-step derivations are provided, rendering the monograph suitable for both self-study and as a teaching guide complementary to a conventional textbook. Further, a rich variety of concepts and techniques are introduced. Ueda's book makes up a brilliant contribution which accomplishes its ambitious goal of offering a trip from the fundamentals to the frontiers of the field, making it a valuable reference for advanced graduate and postgraduate students as well as active researchers.”
