Properties of quasi two-dimensional condensates in highly anisotropic traps
G. Hechenblaikner, J. M. Krueger, C. J. Foot
We theoretically investigate some of the observable properties of quasi two-dimensional condensates. Using a variational model based on a Gaussian-parabolic trial wavefunction we c…

Quasi-2D Confinement of a BEC in a Combined Optical and Magnetic Potential
N. L. Smith, W. H. Heathcote, G. Hechenblaikner +2
We have added an optical potential to a conventional Time-averaged Orbiting Potential (TOP) trap to create a highly anisotropic hybrid trap for ultracold atoms. Axial confinement i…
