Radio-frequency dressed atoms beyond the linear Zeeman effect
We evaluate the impact that nonlinear Zeeman shifts have on resonant radio-frequency (RF) dressed traps in an atom-chip configuration. The degeneracy of the resonance between Zeeman levels is lifted at large intensities of a static field, modifying the spatial dependence of the atomic adiabatic potential. In this context, we find effects that are important for the next generation of atom chips ...
متن کاملRadio-frequency dressed lattices for ultracold alkali atoms
Ultracold atomic gases in periodic potentials are powerful platforms for exploring quantumphysics in regimes dominated bymany-body effects as well as for developing applications that benefit from quantummechanical effects. Further advances face a range of challenges including the realization of potentials with lattice constants smaller than optical wavelengths as well as creating schemes for ef...
متن کاملAtoms in a radio-frequency-dressed optical lattice.
We load cold atoms into an optical lattice dramatically reshaped by radio-frequency coupling of state-dependent lattice potentials. This radio-frequency dressing changes the unit cell of the lattice at a subwavelength scale, such that its curvature and topology departs strongly from that of a simple sinusoidal lattice potential. Radio-frequency dressing has previously been performed at length s...
متن کاملNon-adiabatic losses from radio-frequency dressed cold atom traps: beyond the Landau-Zener model
Non-adiabatic decay rates for a radio-frequency dressed magnetic trap are calculated using Fermi’s Golden Rule: that is, we examine the probability for a single atom to make transitions out of the dressed trap and into a continuum in the adiabatic limit, where perturbation theory can be applied. This approach can be compared to the semi-classical Landau-Zener theory of a resonant dressed atom t...
متن کاملThe Zeeman Effect in Hydrogen and Alkali Atoms
The Zeeman effect concerns the interaction of atomic systems with external magnetic fields. A basic understanding of the Zeeman effect is needed for many aspects of modern research in atomic physics. In addition, the Zeeman effect played an important historical role in the development of quantum mechanics, leading to the discovery of spin, the g-factor of the electron, and the Thomas precession...
