-enhanced gray-molasses loading and EIT cooling of neutral atoms in nanophotonic traps
Lucas Pache, Antoine Glicenstein, Philipp Schneeweiss +3
Nanophotonic traps for cold atoms typically have trap volumes that are orders of magnitude smaller than, e.g., free-space optical tweezers. This makes efficient loading of these tr…

Hybrid Trapping of Cold Atoms with Surface Forces and Blue-Detuned Evanescent Light on a Nanophotonic Waveguide
Riccardo Pennetta, Antoine Glicenstein, Philipp Schneeweiss +2
We demonstrate a novel hybrid nanophotonic trap for cold neutral atoms, leveraging surface forces for attraction and blue-detuned evanescent light for repulsion. We attribute the a…
