Laser cooling to quantum degeneracy.
We report on Bose-Einstein condensation in a gas of strontium atoms, using laser cooling as the only cooling mechanism. The condensate is formed within a sample that is continuously Doppler cooled to below 1 μK on a narrow-linewidth transition. The critical phase-space density for condensation is reached in a central region of the sample, in which atoms are rendered transparent for laser cooli...
متن کاملFeedback cooling of a one-electron oscillator.
A one-electron oscillator is cooled from 5.2 K to 850 mK using electronic feedback. Novel quantum jump thermometry reveals a Boltzmann distribution of oscillator energies and directly measures the corresponding temperature. The ratio of electron temperature and damping rate (also directly measured) is observed to be a fluctuation-dissipation invariant, independent of feedback gain, as predicted...
متن کاملA proposal for laser cooling antihydrogen atoms
We present a scheme for laser cooling applicable to an extremely dilute sample of magnetically trapped antihydrogen atoms (H̄). Exploiting and controlling the dynamical coupling between the H̄’s motional degrees of freedom in a magnetic trap, three-dimensional cooling can be achieved from Doppler cooling in one dimension using the 1s1/2 − 2p3/2 transition. The lack of three-dimensional access to ...
متن کاملSisyphus Laser Cooling of a Polyatomic Molecule.
We perform magnetically assisted Sisyphus laser cooling of the triatomic free radical strontium monohydroxide (SrOH). This is achieved with principal optical cycling in the rotationally closed P(N^{''}=1) branch of either the X[over ˜]^{2}Σ^{+}(000)↔A[over ˜]^{2}Π_{1/2}(000) or the X[over ˜]^{2}Σ^{+}(000)↔B[over ˜]^{2}Σ^{+}(000) vibronic transitions. Molecules lost into the excited vibrational ...
متن کاملOptimal control in a quantum cooling problem
The optimal control for cooling a quantum harmonic oscillator by controlling its frequency is considered. It is shown that this singular problem may be transformed with the proper choice of coordinates to an equivalent problemwhich is no longer singular. The coordinates used are sufficiently simple that a graphical solution is possible and eliminates the need to use a Weierstrass-like approach ...
