Momentum exchange between light and a single atom: Abraham or Minkowski?
E. A. Hinds, Stephen M. Barnett
We consider the forces exerted by a pulse of plane-wave light on a single atom. The leading edge of the pulse exerts a dispersive force on the atom, and this modifies the atomic mo…
Atom detection and photon production in a scalable, open, optical microcavity
M. Trupke, J. Goldwin, B. Darquié +4
A microfabricated Fabry-Perot optical resonator has been used for atom detection and photon production with less than 1 atom on average in the cavity mode. Our cavity design combin…
Spin flip lifetimes in superconducting atom chips: BCS versus Eliashberg theory
Ulrich Hohenester, Asier Eiguren, Stefan Scheel +1
We investigate theoretically the magnetic spin-flip transitions of neutral atoms trapped near a superconducting slab. Our calculations are based on a quantum-theoretical treatment…
On the feasibility of studying vortex noise in 2D superconductors with cold atoms
Stefan Scheel, Rachele Fermani, E. A. Hinds
We investigate the feasibility of using ultracold neutral atoms trapped near a thin superconductor to study vortex noise close to the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Berezinskii transition tem…
A supersonic beam of cold lithium hydride molecules
S. K. Tokunaga, J. O. Stack, J. J. Hudson +3
We have developed a source of cold LiH molecules for Stark deceleration and trapping experiments. Lithium metal is ablated from a solid target into a supersonically expanding carri…
