Compressibility of a two-dimensional homogeneous Bose gas in a box — •Leon Espert Miranda, Erik Busley, Kirankumar Umesh, Frank Vewinger, Martin Weitz, and Julian Schmitt — Institut für Angewandte Physik, Universität Bonn, Bonn, Germany

Homogeneous quantum gases enable studies of the collective behavior in quantum materials ranging from superfluids to neutron stars. A particular example for quantum matter are Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC). Here we realize an optical quantum gas in a box potential inside a nanostructured microcavity and observe BEC in the finite-size homogeneous 2D system. By exerting a force on the photon gas, we probe its compressibility and equation of state, demonstrating the physical significance of the infinitely compressible BEC in an ideal gas.
