Fermionic Condensate is
a superfluid phase formed by fermionic particles
at low temperatures. It is closely related to
the Bose–Einstein condensate, a superfluid
phase formed by bosonic atoms under similar

condensates, fermionic condensates are formed
using fermions instead of bosons.
The earliest recognized fermionic condensate
described the state of electrons in
a superconductor; the physics of other examples
including recent work with fermionic atoms is
analogous. The first atomic fermionic condensate
was created by Deborah S. Jin in 2003. A chiral
condensate is an example of a fermionic
condensate that appears in theories of massless
fermions with chiral symmetry breaking.
