Techniques to cool and rotate Bose-Einstein condensates in time-averaged adiabatic potentials

Abstract: We report two novel techniques for cooling and rotating Bose-Einstein condensates in a dilute rubidium vapour that highlight the control and versatility afforded over cold atom systems by time-averaged adiabatic potentials (TAAPs). The intrinsic loss channel of the TAAP has been successfully employed to evaporatively cool a sample of trapped atoms to quantum degeneracy. The speed and efficiency of this process compares well with that of conventional forced rf-evaporation. In an independent experiment, we impar… Show more

“…Guiding the atoms through an atomtronic circuit can provide very large areas and times, thus paving the way towards compact, ultra-sensitive matter-wave interferometers. A number of such circuits have been proposed and some demonstrated, e.g.using dipole potentials [9][10][11], magnetic traps on atom-chips [12][13][14], and using time-averaged adiabatic potentials (TAAPs) [15][16][17][18]. Michelson type interferometers have been demonstrated over distances of tens of micrometers [13,[19][20][21].…”

“…In this work we demonstrate MRF APs for the first time, creating a highly configurable double well potential with three radiofrequencies. Dynamic control over these potentials, which take the form of two parallel * christopher.foot@physics.ox.ac.uk sheets, can be achieved by manipulating the RF polarisation and amplitude, or properties of the underlying static field [2,20,21]. These traps are intrinsically state-and species-selective [19,22,23], with demonstrably low heating rates when created using macroscopic coils located a few cm from the atoms [14].…”
