Bose-Einstein Condensates in a 1D Optical Lattice
S. Burger, F. S. Cataliotti, F. Ferlaino +4
We give an overview on current experiments on Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in a one-dimensional (1D) optical lattice. We introduce measurements of ground state, tunnelling and…
Josephson Junction Arrays with Bose-Einstein Condensates
F. S. Cataliotti, S. Burger, C. Fort +5
We report on the direct observation of an oscillating atomic current in a one-dimensional array of Josephson junctions realized with an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate. The array i…
Quasi 2D Bose-Einstein condensation in an optical lattice
S. Burger, F. S. Cataliotti, C. Fort +3
We study the phase transition of a gas of Rb atoms to quantum degeneracy in the combined potential of a harmonically confining magnetic trap and the periodic potential of an optica…
Expansion of a coherent array of Bose-Einstein condensates
P. Pedri, L. Pitaevskii, S. Stringari +6
We investigate the properties of a coherent array containing about 200 Bose-Einstein condensates produced in a far detuned 1D optical lattice. The density profile of the gas, image…
Time-domain atom interferometry across the threshold for Bose-Einstein condensation
F. Minardi, C. Fort, P. Maddaloni +2
We have performed time-domain interferometry experiments with matter waves trapped in an harmonic potential above and below the Bose-Einstein phase transition. We interrogate the a…
Superfluid and Dissipative Dynamics of a Bose-Einstein Condensate in a Periodic Optical Potential
S. Burger, F. S. Cataliotti, C. Fort +4
We create Bose-Einstein condensates of 87-rubidium in a static magnetic trap with a superimposed blue-detuned 1D optical lattice. By displacing the magnetic trap center we are able…
