And also perhaps here: Note that they used lasers to REMOVE energy from the system (to COOL it). That's what KP Sinha did, and also, what Ed Storms was unaware of here on Vortex-L until I pointed it out. The interesting thing about laser cooling is that the photons from the laser are typically very hot. A blue laser can have photons with equivalent temperature of 15,000 degrees. As far back as the “Einstein refrigerator” we have known that one can use heat to produce cooling - but with laser irradiation it is different. A laser photon can cause an atom to emit photons of a higher average energy than the one it absorbed from the laser - and thereafter cooling will follow, but only so long as the cooled atom does not heat up via absorbing low energy radiation from its containment structure – the same one which absorbed the very hot re-emission from the cooled atom. Thus laser cooling only works well at extremely low pressure, and therefore laser cooling to form a BEC may not be relevant to LENR at all - since we are going for high power density, and a vacuum is not conducive to that. However, when everything is tuned to a phonon frequency which is the operating temperature of the hot pressurized reactor – say 350 degrees C, then a laser which is radiating photons in the IR of about that energy (the 15 THz band which NASA loves), we can bring the a entire system into a kind of 3-way or triple coherence called “superradiance”. This is photon, phonon and magnon (spin wave) coherence. Triple coherence promotes tunneling. A magnetic field promotes magnons. A coherent system, even a hot coherent system – which has triple-coherent energy dynamics will promote LENR – that is the bottom line.
