What is "atomtronics"

n. (context physics English) The design, manufacture and study of analogs of electronics using atoms (especially Bose-Einstein condensates) at low temperature

Atomtronics is an emerging sub-field of ultracold atomic physics which encompasses a broad range of topics featuring guided atomic matter waves. The systems typically include components analogous to those found in electronic or optical systems, such as beam splitters and transistors. Applications range from studies of fundamental physics to the development of practical devices.
