Published Feb 8, 2006• 1 citation

Abstract

An Ioffe-Pritchard trap for cold dressed atoms is studied by analytical and numerical simulations. The effective potential in this trap is formed by the static magnetic and radio-frequency fields, and the minimums are formed around the current bars. The depth of the minimums and the overall topology of the effective potential are controlled electronically. The studied regime of the Ioffe-Pritchard trap is of interest for high-sensitive cold atom interferometers.

Numerical simulations of the Ioffe-Pritchard trap for cold dressed atoms

KARL J. SAND, Sand Karl J

An Ioffe-Pritchard trap for cold dressed atoms is studied by numerical simulations. It is shown that the potential generated by static and alternating currents provides trapping of two sorts of cold dressed atoms. The studied topology is controlled with the frequency and static currents, and it is for study of the atom collision effects and the entanglement of the atoms after a collision.

A gradient and offset compensated Ioffe–Pritchard trap for Bose–Einstein condensation experiments

Vasiliki Bolpasi, Jules Grucker, Michael Morrissey +1 more

The Ioffe–Pritchard trap is the workhorse of modern cold atom physics. Here, we present a novel Ioffe–Pritchard trap coil configuration based purely on circular coils. By eliminating the traditional Ioffe bars one can increase the gradient and thus the radial trapping frequency by almost a factor 2. We also present a method to achieve minimal coupling between the gradient, curvature and offset fields of the trap, thus facilitating the dynamic control of the trapping frequencies and aspect ratio.

Anisotropic two-dimensional RF-dressed potentials for ultracold atoms

A. Chakraborty, Satya Ram Mishra

In this work, the RF-dressed potentials generated using a static magnetic field of a quadrupole trap and various radio frequency (RF) fields have been theoretically investigated for trapping and manipulating of cold atoms in a two-dimensional (2D) geometry. In this scheme, the RF fields of some particular polarizations and phases are shown to give rise to some novel static and time-dependent anisotropic two-dimensional potentials that are useful to trap and manipulate the cold atoms in the 2D geometry. The generated time-dependent 2D potentials, rotating on a circular ring, can be used to control the rotation and the oscillation of the cold-atom cloud on the path of the circular ring. The ultracold atoms trapped in these potentials may be used to investigate interesting physics phenomena, such as tunnelling and superfluidity.

Ring-shaped atom-trap lattices using multipole dressing fields

Fabio Gentile, Jamie J. Johnson, Konstantinos Poulios +1 more

We present a method for the creation of closed-loop lattices for ultra-cold atoms using dressed potentials. We analytically describe the generation of trap lattices that are state-dependent with dynamically controlled lattice depths and positioning. In a design akin to a synchronous motor, the potentials arise from the combination of a static, ring-shaped quadrupole field and multipole radio-frequency fields. Our technique relies solely on static and radio-frequency (rf) magnetic fields, enabling the creation of robust atom traps with simple control via rf amplitudes and phases. Potential applications of our scheme span the range from quantum many-body simulations to guided Sagnac interferometers.

An apparatus for studying interactions between Rydberg atoms and metal surfaces

Jeffrey David Carter

A system suitable for studying interactions between ⁸⁷Rb Rydberg atoms and metal surfaces has been constructed. This thesis describes the design and construction of the apparatus, and some test results. Atoms in a vapor cell magneto-optical trap are transferred to a macroscopic Ioffe-Pritchard trap, where they will be RF evaporatively cooled and loaded into a magnetic microtrap (atom chip). Confinement of cold clouds at controllable distances (5–200 μm)} from a metal surface is possible. The effects of atom-surface interactions can be studied with Rydberg atom spectroscopy. \n \nSome functionality of the apparatus has been demonstrated. Approximately 1.5×10⁷ atoms were loaded into a mirror MOT, and about 6×10⁶ atoms were optically pumped to the |F=2, m_F=2> hyperfine ground state and confined in a macroscopic Ioffe-Pritchard trap. The temperature of the cloud in the trap was 42 ± 5 μK, and the 1/e lifetime is 1–1.5 s. Forced RF evaporation has been used to measure the magnetic field at the trap minimum, but RF evaporative cooling has not yet been demonstrated.
