Experimental Characterization of 1-D Velocity Selection
S. H. Myrskog, J. K. Fox, A. M. Jofre +3
We demonstrate a 1-D velocity selection technique which relies on combining magnetic and optical potentials. We have selected atom clouds with temperatures as low as 2.9% of the in…
Classical and Quantum Analysis of One Dimensional Velocity Selection for Ultracold Atoms
J. K. Fox, H. A. Kim, S. R. Mishra +5
We discuss a velocity selection technique for obtaining cold atoms, in which all atoms below a certain energy are spatially selected from the surrounding atom cloud. Velocity selec…
Quantum Process Tomography on Vibrational States of Atoms in an Optical Lattice
S. H. Myrskog, J. K. Fox, M. W. Mitchell +1
Quantum process tomography is used to fully characterize the evolution of the quantum vibrational state of atoms. Rubidium atoms are trapped in a shallow optical lattice supporting…
Modified "delta kick cooling" for studies of atomic tunneling
S. H. Myrskog, J. K. Fox, H. S. Moon +3
We present progress towards a planned experiment on atomic tunneling of ultra-cold Rb atoms. As a first step in this experiment we present a realization of an improved form of "del…
