Yes, this is a real quantum physics experiment.

"So we start with this very unique gas and study how it behaves when shaped into fundamentally different geometries," Aveline explained."And, historically, when a material is manipulated in this way,Now, the team plans to transition the ultracold gas bubbles into the BEC state, which can exist only in extremely cold temperatures, to perform more quantum physics research.

"Some theoretical work suggests that if we work with one of these bubbles that is in the BEC state, we might be able to form vortices — basically, little whirlpools — in the quantum material," Nathan Lundblad, a physics professor at Bates College in Maine and the principal investigator of the new study, said in the same statement.
