Magnetic microtraps for ultracold atoms

J Fortágh, C Zimmermann - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2007 - APS
Trapping and manipulating ultracold atoms and degenerate quantum gases in magnetic
micropotentials is reviewed. Starting with a comprehensive description of the basic concepts …

Physics of our days: Cooling and thermometry of atomic Fermi gases

R Onofrio - Physics-Uspekhi, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the status of cooling techniques aimed at achieving the deepest quantum
degeneracy for atomic Fermi gases. We first discuss some physics motivations, providing a …

Fifteen years of cold matter on the atom chip: promise, realizations, and prospects

M Keil, O Amit, S Zhou, D Groswasser… - Journal of modern …, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
Here we review the field of atom chips in the context of Bose–Einstein Condensates (BEC)
as well as cold matter in general. Twenty years after the first realization of the BEC and 15 …

Species-specific optical lattices

LJ LeBlanc, JH Thywissen - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and …, 2007 - APS
We examine single-frequency optical schemes for species-selective trapping of ultracold
alkali-metal atoms. Independently addressing the elements of a binary mixture enables the …

Dynamics of a tunable superfluid junction

LJ LeBlanc, AB Bardon, J McKeever, MHT Extavour… - Physical review …, 2011 - APS
We study the population dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a double-well potential
throughout the crossover from Josephson dynamics to hydrodynamics. At barriers higher …

Quantum degenerate mixture of ytterbium and lithium atoms

AH Hansen, A Khramov, WH Dowd, AO Jamison… - Physical Review A …, 2011 - APS
We have produced a quantum degenerate mixture of fermionic alkali-metal 6 Li and bosonic
spin-singlet 174 Yb gases. This was achieved using sympathetic cooling of lithium atoms by …

Realization of a superconducting atom chip

T Nirrengarten, A Qarry, C Roux, A Emmert, G Nogues… - Physical review …, 2006 - APS
We have trapped rubidium atoms in the magnetic field produced by a superconducting atom
chip operated at liquid helium temperatures. Up to 8.2× 10 5 atoms are held in a Ioffe …

Plaquette valence bond ordering in a J1–J2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a honeycomb lattice

H Mosadeq, F Shahbazi, SA Jafari - Journal of Physics …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract We study an S= 1/2 Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice with first and
second neighbor antiferromagnetic exchange (J 1–J 2 model), employing exact …

Sympathetic cooling in an optically trapped mixture of alkali and spin-singlet atoms

VV Ivanov, A Khramov, AH Hansen, WH Dowd… - Physical review …, 2011 - APS
We report on the realization of a stable mixture of ultracold lithium and ytterbium atoms
confined in a far-off-resonance optical dipole trap. We observe sympathetic cooling of Li 6 by …

Stability of a trapped-atom clock on a chip

R Szmuk, V Dugrain, W Maineult, J Reichel… - Physical Review A, 2015 - APS
We present a compact atomic clock interrogating ultracold Rb 87 magnetically trapped on an
atom chip. Very long coherence times sustained by spin self-rephasing allow us to …
