Threshold for creating excitations in a stirred superfluid ring
K. C. Wright, R. B. Blakestad, C. J. Lobb +2
We have measured the threshold for creating long-lived excitations when a toroidal Bose-Einstein condensate is stirred by a rotating (optical) barrier of variable height. When the…
Driving phase slips in a superfluid atom circuit with a rotating weak link
K. C. Wright, R. B. Blakestad, C. J. Lobb +2
We have observed well-defined phase slips between quantized persistent current states around a toroidal atomic (23Na) Bose-Einstein condensate. These phase slips are induced by a w…
A microfabricated surface-electrode ion trap in silicon
J. Britton, D. Leibfried, J. Beall +13
The prospect of building a quantum information processor underlies many recent advances ion trap fabrication techniques. Potentially, a quantum computer could be constructed from a…
Surface-Electrode Architecture for Ion-Trap Quantum Information Processing
J. Chiaverini, R. B. Blakestad, J. Britton +5
We investigate a surface-mounted electrode geometry for miniature linear radio frequency Paul ion traps. The electrodes reside in a single plane on a substrate, and the pseudopoten…
