Overlapping Bose-Einstein Condensates of ${}^{23}$Na and ${}^{133}$Cs

Abstract

We report on the creation of dual-species Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) of ${}^{23}$Na atoms and ${}^{133}$Cs atoms. We demonstrate sympathetic cooling of Cs with Na in a magnetic quadrupole trap and a crossed optical dipole trap, leading to Na BECs with $8\times 10^5$ atoms and Cs BECs with $3.5\times 10^4$ atoms. Investigating cross-thermalization and lifetimes of the mixture, we find that the Na and Cs BECs are miscible and overlapping, interacting with a moderate interspecies scattering length of $18(4)a_0$ at $23$G and $29(4)a_0$ at $894$G and coexisting for tens of seconds. Overlapping condensates of Na and Cs offer new possibilities for many-body physics with ultracold bosonic mixtures and constitute an ideal starting point for the creation of ultracold ensembles of NaCs ground state molecules.
