Growth dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a dimple trap without cooling
Michael C. Garrett, Adrian Ratnapala, Eikbert D. van Ooijen +7
We study the formation of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a cigar-shaped three-dimensional harmonic trap, induced by the controlled addition of an attractive "dimple" potential along…
Dynamical tunnelling with ultracold atoms in magnetic microtraps
Martin Lenz, Sebastian Wüster, Christopher J. Vale +5
The study of dynamical tunnelling in a periodically driven anharmonic potential probes the quantum-classical transition via the experimental control of the effective Planck's const…
Observation of shock waves in a large Bose-Einstein condensate
R. Meppelink, S. B. Koller, J. M. Vogels +6
We observe the formation of shock waves in a Bose-Einstein condensate containing a large number of sodium atoms. The shock wave is initiated with a repulsive, blue-detuned light ba…
Constraining Validity of the Minkowski Energy-Momentum Tensor
R. N. C. Pfeifer, T. A. Nieminen, N. R. Heckenberg +1
There exist two popular energy-momentum tensors for an electromagnetic wave in a dielectric medium. The Abraham expression is robust to experimental verification but more mathemati…
T-matrix calculation via discrete-dipole approximation, point matching and exploiting symmetry
Vincent L. Y. Loke, Timo A. Nieminen, N. R. Heckenberg +1
We present a method of incorporating the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) method with the point matching method to formulate the T-matrix for modeling arbitrarily shaped micro-s…
Symmetry and the generation and measurement of optical torque
Timo A. Nieminen, Theodor Asavei, Vincent L. Y. Loke +2
A key element in the generation of optical torque in optical traps, which occurs when electromagnetic angular momentum is transferred from the trapping beam to the trapped particle…
