Atomtronics is an emerging field that aims to manipulate ultracold atom moving in matter-
wave circuits for fundamental studies in both quantum science and technological …

The description of dispersion forces within the framework of macroscopic quantum
electrodynamics in linear, dispersing and absorbing media combines the benefits of …

We demonstrate and analyse a method for efficiently generating a high-order Bessel beam
of arbitrary order by illuminating an axicon with the appropriate Laguerre–Gaussian light …

Chip-scale atomic devices combine elements of precision atomic spectroscopy, silicon
micromachining, and advanced diode laser technology to create compact, low-power, and …

We have produced and characterized an intense, slow, and highly collimated atomic beam
extracted from a standard vapor cell magneto-optical trap (MOT). The technique used is …

It is unanimously accepted that the quantum and the classical descriptions of the physical
reality are very different, although any quantum process is" mysteriously" transformed …

We report the first laser spectroscopic experiments on the Rb beam guided by blue-detuned
evanescent waves in micron-sized hollow fibers. The two-step photoionization spectra show …

We study and analyse the optical dipole potential for guiding atoms in various forms of both
Laguerre-Gaussian and Bessel light beams. We find that Laguerre-Gaussian beams of high …

For the last decade it has been possible to cool atoms to microkelvin temperatures (~ 1 cm s-
1) using a variety of optical techniques. Light beams provide the very strong frictional forces …

This review describes the methods of trapping cold atoms in electromagnetic fields and in
the combined electromagnetic and gravity fields. We discuss first the basic types of the …
