An atom interferometer for measuring loss of coherence from an atom mirror
Jerome Esteve, David Stevens, Christine Aussibal +3
We describe an atom interferometer to study the coherence of atoms reflected from an evanescent wave mirror. The interferometer is sensitive to the loss of phase coherence induced…

The role of wire imperfections in micro magnetic traps for atoms
Jerome Esteve, Christine Aussibal, Thorsten Schumm +5
We present a quantitative study of roughness in the magnitude of the magnetic fieldproduced by a current carrying microwire, i.e. in the trapping potential for paramagnetic atoms.W…
