A Bose-Einstein condensate was produced in a vapor of rubidium-87 atoms that was
confined by magnetic fields and evaporatively cooled. The condensate fraction first …

The experimental realisation of Bose–Einstein condensates of dilute atomic vapours has
generated immense interest and activity in this field. Here, we present a review of recent …

Abstract Evidence for Bose-Einstein condensation of a gas of spin-polarized 7 Li atoms is
reported. Atoms confined to a permanent-magnet trap are laser cooled to 200 μK and are …

We consider the quantum dynamics of a neutral atom Bose-Einstein condensate in a double-
well potential, including many-body hard-sphere interactions. Using a mean-field …

The spatial observation of a Bose condensate is reported. Dispersive light scattering was
used to observe the separation between the condensed and normal components of the …

We have observed evaporative cooling of magnetically trapped sodium atoms. A novel
technique, rf induced evaporation, was used to reduce the temperature by a factor of 12 and …

We derive the dispersion relation for the propagation of quasiresonant light with frequency ω
L in an ultracold gas of bosonic atoms in the dilute regime, ie, for an atomic density ρ 0≪(ω …

We describe planar and mostly planar current geometries for constructing microscopic
magnetic traps for neutral atoms. These geometries are well-suited for fabrication from …

The macroscopic wave function for atomic samples composed of a few thousand particles is
shown to exhibit collapses and revivals on a few seconds time scale, while Bose-Einstein …

We report observation of the 1S-2S two-photon transition in hydrogen confined in a
magnetic trap at submillikelvin temperatures. The excitation spectrum can display a sharp …
