Thanks Yogi. I suspect this quote is on the optimistic side:
>>Although Dr. Hau said it might take 10 years before major applications were developed, the huge refractive index of the condensate, which can be precisely controlled, may make it a basis for "up shifting" devices that increase the frequencies of light beams from the infrared end of the spectrum up through visible light to ultraviolet. Possible applications include ultrasensitive night-vision glasses and laser light projectors that could create very bright projected images.<<

I recall seeing the High Temperature Superconducting demonstration in on "The Late Show with Johnny Carson" with levitating magnets and such. These breakthroughs are fascinating but the practical applications seem slow in developing.
