Abstract

In complementary images of coordinate-space and momentum-space density in a trapped 2D Bose gas, we observe the emergence of pre-superfluid behavior. As phase-space density increases toward degenerate values, we observe a gradual divergence of the compressibility from the value predicted by a bare-atom model, . grows to 1.7 before reaches the value for which we observe the sudden emergence of a spike at in momentum space. Momentum-space images are acquired by means of a 2D focusing technique. Our data represent the first observation of non-meanfield physics in the pre-superfluid but degenerate 2D Bose gas.
