We consider the two-dimensional motion of a particle in a confining potential, subject to
Brownian orthogonal forces associated with two different temperatures. Exact solutions are …

Synthetic magnetism in cold atomic gases opened the doors to many exciting novel physical
systems and phenomena. Ubiquitous are the methods used for the creation of synthetic …

We implement a synthetic Lorentz force in a cold atomic gas released from a magneto-
optical trap. The signature of this is an angular deflection of a rotationally asymmetrical …

We study the radiation pressure force exerted on cold 87 Rb atoms captured in a magneto-
optical trap (MOT) due to resonant excitation of atoms into the non-cooling 5P 1/2 (F e= 2) …

Sažetak Presented in this thesis are results of research on two topics in the field of cold
atoms. These topics are connected by the fact they both employ laser induced forces caused …

We study the long-range force arising from the absorption of non-saturating laser beams in a
two-dimensional cloud of cold atoms. The force created by the lasers is attractive and similar …
