The history of the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is considered from Einstein’s original conception, to London’s revival with respect to superfluid 4 He and to an explanation of today’s concept of the BEC as a result of broken gauge symmetry and phase coherence. A discussion of the BEC’s role in superfluidity shows that BEC is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for superfluidity. The protocol to make BEC in dilute gases is outlined from the 1995 experiment by Cornell and Wieman. Finally, the potential that the BEC holds for future developments and applications is discussed.
