Energy-dependent 3-body loss in 1D Bose gases
Laura A. Zundel, Joshua M. Wilson, Neel Malvania +3
We study the loss of atoms in quantum Newton's cradles (QNCs) with a range of average energies and transverse confinements. We find that the three-body collision rate in one-dimens…
The effect of optical lattice heating on the momentum distribution of a 1D Bose gas
Jean-Félix Riou, Laura A. Zundel, Aaron Reinhard +1
We theoretically study how excitations due to spontaneous emission and trap fluctuations combine with elastic collisions to change the momentum distribution of a trapped non-degene…
Illustration of Babinet's principle with ultracold atoms
Aaron Reinhard, Jean-Félix Riou, Laura A. Zundel +1
We demonstrate Babinet's principle by the absorption of high intensity light from dense clouds of ultracold atoms. Images of the diffracted light are directly related to the spatia…
Self-trapping in an array of coupled 1D Bose gases
Aaron Reinhard, Jean-Félix Riou, Laura A. Zundel +4
We study the transverse expansion of arrays of ultracold Rb atoms weakly confined in tubes created by a 2D optical lattice, and observe that transverse expansion is delayed…
Theoretical tools for atom laser beam propagation
J. -F. Riou, Y. Le Coq, F. Impens +4
We present a theoretical model for the propagation of non self-interacting atom laser beams. We start from a general propagation integral equation, and we use the same approximatio…
Guided Quasicontinuous Atom Laser
William Guerin, Jean-Félix Riou, John P. Gaebler +3
We report the first realization of a guided quasicontinuous atom laser by rf outcoupling a Bose-Einstein condensate from a hybrid optomagnetic trap into a horizontal atomic wavegui…
Beam quality of a non-ideal atom laser
J. -F. Riou, W. Guerin, Y. Le Coq +4
We study the propagation of a non-interacting atom laser distorted by the strong lensing effect of the Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) from which it is outcoupled. We observe a tran…
Partially ferromagnetic electromagnet for trapping and cooling neutral atoms to quantum degeneracy
Marie Fauquembergue, Jean-Félix Riou, William Guerin +7
We have developed a compact partially ferromagnetic electromagnet to produce a Ioffe-Pritchard trap for neutral atoms. Our structure permits strong magnetic confinement with low po…
