Problem 1

To what velocity would an electron (neutron) have to be slowed down, if its wavelength is to be 1 meter? Are matter waves of macroscopic dimensions a real possibility?

Problem 2

For the observation of quantum mechanical Bose-Einstein condensation, the interparticle distance in a gas of noninteracting atoms must be comparable to the de Broglie wavelength, or less. How high a particle density is needed to achieve these conditions if the atoms have mass number $\mathrm{A}=100$ and are at a temperature of 100 nanokelvin?
