Decoherence via induced dipole collisions in an ultracold gas

Anthony R. Gorges, Mathew S. Hamilton, Jacob L. Roberts

We have studied the effects of loading ${}^{87}$Rb into a far off resonant trap (FORT) in the presence of an ultracold cloud of ${}^{85}$Rb. The presence of the ${}^{85}$Rb resulted in a…
