Emergence of Classical Rotation in Superfluid Bose-Einstein Condensates
Angela White, Tara Hennessy, Thomas Busch
Phase transitions can modify quantum behaviour on mesoscopic scales and give access to new and unusual quantum dynamics. Here we investigate the superfluid properties of a rotating…
Detecting atoms trapped in an optical lattice using a tapered optical nanofiber
T. Hennessy, Th. Busch
Optical detection of structures with dimensions smaller than an optical wavelength requires devices that work on scales beyond the diffraction limit. Here we present the possibilit…
Shaping the evanescent field of optical nanofibers for cold atom trapping
C. F. Phelan, T. Hennessy, Th. Busch
We investigate trapping geometries for cold, neutral atoms that can be created in the evanescent field of a tapered optical fibre by combining the fundamental mode with one of the…
Creating atom-number states around tapered optical fibres by loading from an optical lattice
T. Hennessy, Th. Busch
We describe theoretically a setup in which a tapered optical nanofibre is introduced into an optical lattice potential for cold atoms. Firstly, we consider the disturbance to the g…
