Atom-Optics Billiards: Non-linear dynamics with cold atoms in optical traps
arXiv:nlin/0410027
Abstract
We present a new experimental system (the ``atom-optics billiard'') and demonstrate chaotic and regular dynamics of cold, optically trapped atoms. We show that the softness of the walls and additional optical potentials can be used to manipulate the structure of phase space.
