Creation and detection of skyrmions in a Bose-Einstein condensate
L. S. Leslie, A. Hansen, K. C. Wright +2
We present the first experimental realization and characterization of two-dimensional skyrmions and half-skyrmions in a spin-2 Bose-Einstein condensate. The continuous rotation of…

Sculpting the Vortex State of a Spinor BEC
K. C. Wright, L. S. Leslie, A. Hansen +1
We use Raman-detuned laser pulses to achieve spatially-varying control of the amplitude and phase of the spinor order parameter of a Bose-Einstein condensate. We present experiment…

Raman Coupling of Zeeman Sublevels in an Alkali Bose Condensate
K. C. Wright, L. S. Leslie, N. P. Bigelow
We investigate amplitude and phase control of the components of the spinor order parameter of a 87Rb Bose-Einstein condensate. By modeling the interaction of the multilevel atomic…
