Splitting and recombination of bright-solitary-matter waves
Oliver J. Wales, Ana Rakonjac, Thomas P. Billam +3
Solitons are long-lived wavepackets that propagate without dispersion and exist in a wide range of one-dimensional (1D) nonlinear systems. A Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a q…
Spin-orbit coupled interferometry with ring-trapped Bose--Einstein condensates
John L. Helm, Thomas P. Billam, Ana Rakonjac +2
We propose a method of atom-interferometry using a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with a time-varying magnetic field acting as a coherent beam-splitter. Our protocol creates…
Steerable optical tweezers for ultracold atom studies
Kris O. Roberts, Thomas McKellar, Julia Fekete +3
We report on the implementation of an optical tweezer system for controlled transport of ultracold atoms along a narrow, static confinement channel. The tweezer system is based on…
A laser based accelerator for ultracold atoms
A. Rakonjac, A. B. Deb, S. Hoinka +3
We present first results on our implementation of a laser based accelerator for ultracold atoms. Atoms cooled to a temperature of 420 nK are confined and accelerated by means of la…
