From MOT to BEC using a single crossed-wire pair
Joshua M. Wilson, James A. Stickney, Francisco Fonta +4
We demonstrate a new magneto-optical trap (MOT) configuration using a simple pair of crossed wires rotated at 45 deg and an appropriate bias field to generate a MOT of >10^8 atoms.…
Atomtronic Many-Body Transport using Husimi Driving
B. J. Mommers, A. Pritchard, T. A. Bell +4
Quantum systems with exact analytic solutions are rare - challenging the realisation of excitation-free transport methods for many-body systems. Husimi's 1953 treatment of linearly…
Clean, Robust Alkali Sources by Intercalation within Highly-Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite
Rudolph N. Kohn, Matthew S. Bigelow, Mary Spanjers +6
We report the fabrication, characterization, and use of rubidium vapor dispensers based on highly-oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) intercalated with metallic rubidium. Compared t…
Two-dimensional grating magneto-optical trap
Eric Imhof, Benjamin Stuhl, Brian Kasch +3
We demonstrate a two-dimensional grating magneto-optical trap (2D GMOT) with a single input cooling laser beam and a planar diffraction grating using Rb. This configuration…
Ex Vacuo Atom Chip Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC)
Matthew B. Squires, Spencer E. Olson, Brian Kasch +5
Ex vacuo atom chips, used in conjunction with a custom thin walled vacuum chamber, have enabled the rapid replacement of atom chips for magnetically trapped cold atom experiments.…
Tunable axial potentials for atom chip waveguides
James A. Stickney, Brian Kasch, Eric Imhof +4
We present a method for generating precise magnetic potentials that can be described by a polynomial series along the axis of a cold atom waveguide near the surface of an atom chip…
