Bose-Einstein Condensate in a light-induced vector potential using the 1064 $nm$ optical dipole trap lasers

Zhengkun Fu, Pengjun Wang, Shijie Chai +2

We present a simple experiment of creating an effective vector gauge potential for Bose-Einstein condensed ${}^{87}$Rb in the F=2 hyperfine ground state using two crossed 1064 $nm$ o…
