On the Cover

Velocity mode populations resulting from a simulated collision of two identical Bose-Einstein condensates of 3 million sodium atoms each. The top images show the v_z = 0 and v_x = 0 planes, respectively, at t = 0; the bottom images are at t = 0.5 ms. The turbulence observed in the scattering halo (circular feature in bottom images) arises from amplification of the initial quantum vacuum fluctuations.
