Simplified System for Creating a Bose-Einstein Condensate
نویسندگان
چکیده
We designed and constructed a simplified experimental system to create a Bose-Einstein condensate in 87 Rb. Our system has several novel features including a mechanical atom transfer mechanism and a hybrid Ioffe-Pritchard magnetic trap. The apparatus has been designed to consistently produce a stable condensate even when it is not well optimized.

Solitons for nearly integrable bright spinor Bose-Einstein condensate
Using the explicit forms of eigenstates for linearized operator related to a matrix version of Nonlinear Schrödinger equation, soliton perturbation theory is developed for the $F=1$ bright spinor Bose-Einstein condensates. A small disturbance of the integrability condition can be considered as a small correction to the integrable equation. By choosing appropriate perturbation, the soli...
متن کاملCoupling approach for the realization of a PT -symmetric potential for a Bose-Einstein condensate in a double well
We show how non-Hermitian potentials used to describe probability gain and loss in effective theories of open quantum systems can be achieved by a coupling of the system to an environment. We do this by coupling a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) trapped in an attractive double-δ potential to a condensate fraction outside the double well. We investigate which requirements have to be imposed on po...
متن کاملSelf-induced spatial dynamics to enhance spin squeezing via one-axis twisting in a two component Bose-Einstein condensate
We theoretically investigate a scheme to enhance relative number squeezing and spin squeezing in a twocomponent Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) by utilizing the inherent mean-field dynamics of the condensate. Due to the asymmetry in the scattering lengths, the two components exhibit large density oscillations where they spatially separate and recombine. The effective nonlinearity responsible for...
متن کاملCavity optomechanics with a trapped, interacting Bose-Einstein condensate
The dispersive interaction of a Bose-Einstein condensate with a single mode of a high-finesse optical cavity realizes the radiation pressure coupling Hamiltonian. In this system the role of the mechanical oscillator is played by a single condensate excitation mode that is selected by the cavity mode function. We study the effect of atomic s-wave collisions and show that it merely renormalizes p...
متن کاملDirectional "superradiant" collisions: bosonic amplification of atom pairs emitted from an elongated Bose-Einstein condensate.
We study spontaneous directionality in the bosonic amplification of atom pairs emitted from an elongated Bose-Einstein condensate, an effect analogous to superradiant emission of atom-photon pairs. Using a simplified model, we make analytic predictions regarding directional effects for both atom-atom and atom-photon emission. These are confirmed by numerical mean-field simulations, demonstratin...
