Schrödinger modal structure of cubical, pyramidal, and conical, evanescent light-wave gravitational atom traps
Jonathan P. Dowling, Julio R. Gea-Banacloche
We investigate the modal structure of Schr\"odinger's equation in several evanescent light-wave gravitational traps. Three configurations are proposed that optically confine an atom inside an atom-mirror cavity: a cubical, a pyramidal, and a conical gravitational trap.
