Atom cooling, trapping, and quantum manipulation
Modern atomic, molecular, and optical physics has advanced primarily by using known physics to devise innovative techniques to better isolate and control the atomic system, and then exploiting this nearly ideal system to achieve higher precision and discover new physical phenomena. The striking advances along these lines have been recognized by awards of Nobel Prizes to 21 individuals in this a...
متن کاملLaser 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 کاملQuantum theory of optomechanical cooling
We review the quantum theory of cooling of a mechanical oscillator subject to the radiation pressure force due to light circulating inside a driven optical cavity. Such optomechanical setups have been used recently in a series of experiments by various groups to cool mechanical oscillators (such as cantilevers) by factors reaching 10, and they may soon go to the ground state of mechanical motio...
متن کاملAspects of quantum cooling in electron and atom systems
Some features of nonadiabatic electron heat pumps are studied and connected to general questions of quantum cooling. Inelastic reflection is shown to contribute to heating if the external driving signal is time-symmetric. The quantum of cooling power, π2k2 B T 2/6h, is shown to be an upper limit to the cooling rate per transport channel in the presence of an arbitrary driving signal. The quantu...
متن کاملMultiple species atom source for laser-cooling experiments
We describe the design of a single beam, multiple species atom source in which the flux of any component can be separately adjusted. Using this design we have developed a Na–Li atom source for ultracold atom experiments. The fluxes of lithium and sodium are independently tunable, allowing operation as a single Na or Li source as well as a double source with equal atomic fluxes in each component...
