The authors review progress in understanding the nature of atomic collisions occurring at
temperatures ranging from the millidegrees Kelvin to the nanodegrees Kelvin regime. The …

The ability to cool, manipulate, and trap atoms using laser light has allowed a new, rapidly
expanding field to emerge. Current research focuses on improving existing cooling …

Scaling up invariably error-prone quantum processors is a formidable challenge. Although
quantum error correction ultimately promises fault-tolerant operation, the required qubit …

Unter allen Messgrößen ist die Frequenz diejenige, die mit dem höchsten Grad an
Sicherheit bestimmt werden kann. Damit sind auch präzise Messungen von anderen …

We simultaneously measure the gravitationally induced phase shift in two Raman-type
matter-wave interferometers operated with laser-cooled ensembles of Rb 87 and K 39 …

Cold atoms are important for precision atomic applications including timekee** and
sensing. The 3D magneto-optical trap (3D-MOT), used to produce cold atoms, will benefit …

We experimentally study the use of two-dimensional magneto-optical trap** (2D-MOT) for
the generation of slow beams of cold atoms out of a vapor cell. A particularly high flux of 9× …

We present an investigation of the cesium magneto-optical trap, with particular regard to the
best combination of atomic density and temperature that can be produced. Conditions in the …

We demonstrate a simple, general purpose method to cool neutral atoms. A sample
containing 3× 10 8 cesium atoms prepared in a magneto-optical trap is cooled and …
