Feasibility of detecting single atoms using photonic bandgap cavities
Benjamin Lev, Kartik Srinivasan, Paul Barclay +2
We propose an atom-cavity chip that combines laser cooling and trapping of neutral atoms with magnetic microtraps and waveguides to deliver a cold atom to the mode of a fiber taper…
Fabrication of micro-magnetic traps for cold neutral atoms
Benjamin Lev
Many proposals for quantum information processing require precise control over the motion of neutral atoms, as in the manipulation of coherent matter waves or the confinement and l…
Quantum Information Processing in Optical Lattices and Magnetic Microtraps
Philipp Treutlein, Tilo Steinmetz, Yves Colombe +9
We review our experiments on quantum information processing with neutral atoms in optical lattices and magnetic microtraps. Atoms in an optical lattice in the Mott insulator regime…
An atom mirror etched from a hard drive
Benjamin Lev, Yves Lassailly, Chungsok Lee +2
We describe the fabrication of an atom mirror by etching of a common hard drive, and we report the observation of specular retroreflection of 11 uk cesium atoms using this mirror.…
Proposed magneto-electrostatic ring trap for neutral atoms
Asa Hopkins, Benjamin Lev, Hideo Mabuchi
We propose a novel trap for confining cold neutral atoms in a microscopic ring using a magneto-electrostatic potential. The trapping potential is derived from a combination of a re…
Integration of fiber coupled high-Q silicon nitride microdisks with atom chips
Paul E. Barclay, Benjamin Lev, Kartik Srinivasan +2
Micron scale silicon nitride (SiN_x) microdisk optical resonators are demonstrated with Q = 3.6 x 10^6 and an effective mode volume of 15 (λ/ n)^3 at near visible wavelengths. A h…
