All-optical production of Li6 molecular Bose-Einstein condensates in excited hyperfine levels

All-Optical Atomic Bose-Einstein Condensates

Given the tremendous impact of BEC research in last 7 years and the continued growth of the field, it is important to explore different methods for reaching BEC, particularly methods that offer new capabilities, simplicity, or speed. We have recently demonstrated such a method by creating a Bose condensate of Rb atoms directly in a crossed-beam optical dipole force trap using tightly focused CO...

Atomic-molecular Bose-Einstein condensates

The study of coupled atomic-molecular Bose-Einstein condensates is currently an active research topic in the field of ultracold quantum gases. Our calculations here are potentially relevant to future Rubidium dimer experiments that could be carried out at either the SUT or ANU nodes of ACQAO. We also aim to model recent experiments on dissociation of 87Rb2 dimers in the group of G. Rempe at the...

Spinor Bose-Einstein condensates in optical traps

We have studied the equilibrium state of spinor condensates in an optical trap [1]. In contrast to magnetically trapped condensates, spinor condensates have the orientation of the spin as a degree of freedom, which can be described by a multi-component wavefunction (one for each magnetic sublevel). In an F=1 spinor condensate subject to spin relaxation, two mF=0 atoms can collide and produce a ...
