When constrained within the laser trap, the atoms are bunched close together, mimicking the neutron degenerate pressure of a neutron star.
当它们被激光阱束缚时,原子被捆绑并相互靠近,模拟出中子星内的中子简并压。

The Fermi gas is governed by quantum dynamics and held in place by the laser trap, allowing the group to simulate the conditions of the tightly packed neutrons inside a neutron star.
费米气体由量子动力学描述,它被激光阱控制在某处,这使得科学家们能够模拟中子星内致密中子的状态。

But the best thing is that they don't have to actually create neutron degenerate matter itself, just cool some lithium-6 gas to nearly absolute zero, grab it inside a laser trap and make it wobble.
