Magnetic Semiconfinement of Neutral Atoms
نویسنده
چکیده
A mechanism for creating well-collimated beams of neutral particles or atoms with spins is studied. The consideration is accomplished for a general realistic case, taking into account: (i) the finiteness of a cylindrical trap where the atoms to be shot out, are stored; (ii) the possibility of manipulating the trap magnetic fields in order to form different anisotropic field configurations; (iii) the presence of gravity curving atomic trajectories. PACS: 03.75.-b; 07.77.Gx; 39.10.+j; 41.85.-p

Collective Phenonema in the Interaction of Radiation with Matter
The aim of this communication is to present in a concentrated form the main ideas of a method, developed by the author, for treating strongly nonequilibrium collective phenomena typical of the interaction of radiation with matter, as well as to give a survey of several applications of the method. The latter is called the Scale Separation Approach since its basic techniques rely on the possibili...
متن کاملThree designs for a magnetic trap that will simultaneously confine neutral atoms and a non-neutral plasma
Three trap designs are proposed for the simultaneous confinement of neutral atoms and a non-neutral plasma in close proximity. One design uses axially symmetric static magnetic fields with a magnetic minimum in a ring around the trap axis. Axial symmetry is required for confinement of the rotating non-neutral plasma, and the magnetic minimum traps the neutral atoms. The second design uses a rot...
متن کاملA solenoidal synthetic field and the non-Abelian Aharonov-Bohm effects in neutral atoms
Cold neutral atoms provide a versatile and controllable platform for emulating various quantum systems. Despite efforts to develop artificial gauge fields in these systems, realizing a unique ideal-solenoid-shaped magnetic field within the quantum domain in any real-world physical system remains elusive. Here we propose a scheme to generate a "hairline" solenoid with an extremely small size aro...
متن کاملFabrication of micro-magnetic traps for cold neutral atoms
Many proposals for quantum information processing require precise control over the motion of neutral atoms, as in the manipulation of coherent matter waves or the confinement and localization of individual atoms. Patterns of micron-sized wires, fabricated lithographically on a flat substrate, can conveniently produce large magnetic-field gradients and curvatures to trap cold atoms and to facili...
متن کاملAtomic Micromanipulation with Magnetic Surface Traps
We describe manipulation of neutral atoms using the magnetic field of microfabricated currentcarrying conductors. It is shown how this method can be used to achieve adiabatic magnetic transport from one reservoir to another. In the first experimental realization of a microfabricated magnetic neutral-atom trap, efficient loading is achieved with a novel mirror-magneto-optic trap. A cloud of rubi...
