Bose-Einstein condensation in 87Rb: characterization of the Brazilian experiment

Abstract: We describe the experimental apparatus and the methods to achieve Bose-Einstein condensation in 87 Rb atoms. Atoms are first laser cooled in a standard double magneto-optical trap setup and then transferred into a QUIC trap. The system is brought to quantum degeneracy selectively removing the hottest atoms from the trap by radio-frequency radiation. We also present the main theoretical aspects of the Bose-Einstein condensation phenomena in atomic gases.

“…The experimental setup and the vortex excitation procedure are described in detail elsewhere [3,9]. Briefly, we use a 87 Rb BEC with 1 × 10 5 atoms held in a cigar shaped magnetic trap with frequencies ω z = 2π × 23 and ω r = 2π × 207 Hz.…”

“…Therefore in this chapter I intend to only briefly discuss our experimental setup, since it has been abundantly described in E. Henn's Ph.D. thesis (51), articles (72,73) and master theses (74,75). J. Seman's Ph.D. thesis (52) also provides information on a very similar setup.…”
