From MOT to BEC using a single crossed-wire pair
Joshua M. Wilson, James A. Stickney, Francisco Fonta +4
We demonstrate a new magneto-optical trap (MOT) configuration using a simple pair of crossed wires rotated at 45 deg and an appropriate bias field to generate a MOT of >10^8 atoms.…

Two-photon rubidium clock detecting 776~nm fluorescence
River Beard, Kyle W. Martin, John D. Elgin +2
The optical atomic clock based on the two-photon transition in rubidium is a candidate for a next generation, manufacturable, portable clock that fi…
