That's true but once Science conquers something, engineering isn't very far behind. The apparatus to build Bose-Einstein Condensates was a fucking monster of vacuums and quantum optics but now we can fit a Bose-Einstein Condensate on a microchip. https://arxiv.org/abs/0912.0553

I Just read that paper and while It’s hardly just a microchip it’s damn impressive considering the technology involved and the requirements it’s fulfilling. It’s amazing that we can now build devices that can produce ultra high vacuums smaller than a hotel minibar, and design systems that are capable of active cooling down to <1K without the use of any cryogenic refrigeration at all.
