Why is it useful to create an assembly of very slow-moving cold atoms

A. The atoms can be more easily observed at slow speeds.

B. Lowering the temperature this way permits isotopes that normally decay in very short times to persist long enough to be studied.

C. At low speeds the quantum nature of the atoms becomes more apparent, and new forms of matter emerge.

D. At low speeds the quantum nature of the atoms becomes less important, and they appear more like classical particles.
