Decoherence-driven Cooling of a Degenerate Spinor Bose Gas
H. J. Lewandowski, J. M. McGuirk, D. M. Harber +1
We investigate the relationship between the coherence of a partially Bose-condensed spinor gas and its temperature. We observe cooling of the normal component driven by decoherence…
Thermally Induced Losses in Ultra-Cold Atoms Magnetically Trapped Near Room-Temperature Surfaces
D. M. Harber, J. M. McGuirk, J. M. Obrecht +1
We have measured magnetic trap lifetimes of ultra-cold Rb87 atoms at distances of 5-1000 microns from surfaces of conducting metals with varying resistivity. Good agreement is foun…
Normal-superfluid interaction dynamics in a spinor Bose gas
J. M. McGuirk, D. M. Harber, H. J. Lewandowski +1
Coherent behavior of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates is studied in the presence of a significant uncondensed (normal) component. Normal-superfluid exchange scattering leads to a n…
