Combined chips for atom optics
We present experiments with Bose-Einstein condensates on a combined atom chip. The combined structure consists of a large-scale “carrier chip” and smaller “atom-optics chips,” containing micron-sized elements. This allows us to work with condensates very close to chip surfaces without suffering from fragmentation or losses due to thermally driven spin flips. Precise three-dimensional positionin...

متن کاملAtom Interferometry on Atom Chips - A Novel Approach Towards Precision
We have proposed and experimentally demonstrated a new technique for creating spin squeezed states of distant atoms by their common interaction with a driven resonator mode. Using this technique we achieve the largest spin squeezing to date, 5.6dB of improvement in signal-to-noise ratio over the standard quantum limit. We have demonstrated a squeezed atomic clock that reaches a given precision ...
متن کاملTwo-Atom Collisions and the Loading of Atoms in Microtraps
We review light assisted collisions in a high-density far-off resonant optical trap (FORT). By tuning the parameters of the light that induces the collisions, the effects of the collisions can be controlled. Trap loss can be suppressed even at high atomic densities, allowing us to count the atoms using fluorescence detection. When only two atoms are trapped, individual loss events reveal new in...
متن کاملSuperconducting atom chips: advantages and challenges
Superconductors are considered in view of applications to atom chip devices. The main features of magnetic traps based on superconducting wires in the Meissner and mixed states are discussed. The former state may mainly be interesting for improved atom optics, while in the latter, cold atoms may provide a probe of superconductor phenomena. The properties of a magnetic side guide based on a sing...
