Cold Atoms and Creation of New States of Matter: Bose-Einstein Condensates, Kapitza States, and '2D Magnetic Hydrogen Atoms'

Lene Vestergaard Hau, B. D. Busch, Chien Liu +2

We have succeded in creating Bose-Einstein condensates with 2 million sodium atoms in a '4D' magnetic trap. We show the dynamic formation of a condensate as evaporative cooling pro…
