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…
Rapidly Rotating Bose-Einstein Condensates in and near the Lowest Landau Level
V. Schweikhard, I. Coddington, P. Engels +2
We create rapidly rotating Bose-Einstein condensates in the lowest Landau level, by spinning up the condensates to rotation rates of the centrifugal limit for a harmonicall…
