AC electric trapping of neutral atoms
Sophie Schlunk, Adela Marian, Wieland Schoellkopf +1
We study the dynamic behavior of ultracold neutral atoms in a macroscopic ac electric trap. Confinement in such a trap is achieved by switching between two saddle-point configurati…
Trapping of Rb atoms by ac electric fields
Sophie Schlunk, Adela Marian, Peter Geng +3
We demonstrate trapping of an ultracold gas of neutral atoms in a macroscopic ac electric trap. Three-dimensional confinement is obtained by switching between two saddle-point conf…
Experimental observation of high-order quantum accelerator modes
S. Schlunk, M. B. d'Arcy, S. A. Gardiner +1
Using a system consisting of a freely falling cloud of cold cesium atoms periodically kicked by pulses from a vertical standing wave of laser light, we present the first experiment…
Signatures of quantum stability in a classically chaotic system
S. Schlunk, M. B. d'Arcy, S. A. Gardiner +3
We experimentally and numerically investigate the quantum accelerator mode dynamics of an atom optical realization of the quantum delta-kicked accelerator, whose classical dynamics…
