Bose – Einstein condensation in a magnetic double - well potential
We present the first experimental realization of Bose–Einstein condensation in a purely magnetic double-well potential. This has been achieved by combining a static Ioffe–Pritchard trap with a time orbiting potential. The double trap can be rapidly switched to a single-harmonic trap of identical oscillation frequencies, thus accelerating the two condensates towards each other. Furthermore, we s...

We consider a binary mixture of two overlapping Bose-Einstein condensates in two different hyperfine states of 87 Rb with nearly identical magnetic moments. Such a system has been simply realized through application of radiofrequency and microwave radiation which drives a two-photon transition between the two states. The nearly identical magnetic moments afford a high degree of spatial overlap,...

This thesis reports on the construction of a new experimental apparatus aiming to study, at ultracold temperatures, a quantum degenerate gas mixture of two different atomic species of fermionic nature: Li and K. A detailed description of the design and implementation as well as a characterization of the apparatus is presented. We have realized a very large atom number dual-species magneto-optic...
متن کاملSimulating an interacting gauge theory with ultracold Bose gases.
We show how density dependent gauge potentials can be induced in dilute gases of ultracold atoms using light-matter interactions. We study the effect of the resulting interacting gauge theory and show how it gives rise to novel topological states in the ultracold gas. We find in particular that the onset of persistent currents in a ring geometry is governed by a critical number of particles. Th...
متن کاملStochastic Optimization of Bose-Einstein Condensation Using a Genetic Algorithm
In 1924/25, Satyendranath Bose and Albert Einstein predicted that particles of integer spin (today called bosons) should undergo a quantum statistical phase transition when cooled to temperatures very close to absolute zero (Bose, 1924; Einstein, 1925). This phenomenon, nowadays called Bose-Einstein condensation, has been experimentally observed seventy years later using ultracold (nanokelvin t...
