Atom fiber for omnidirectional guiding of cold neutral atoms

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We present an omnidirectional matter waveguide on an atom chip. The guide is based on a combination of two current-carrying wires and a bias field pointing perpendicular to the chip surface. Thermal atoms are guided for more than two complete turns along a 25-mm-long spiral path (with curve radii as short as 200 µm) at various atom-surface distances (35450 µm). An extension of the scheme for the guiding of Bose–Einstein condensates is outlined.
