Perspectives of Ultra Cold Atoms Trapped in Magnetic Micro Potentials

الأصل · EN

Recent work on magnetic micro traps for ultracold atoms is briefly reviewed. The basic principles of operation are described together with the loading methods and some of the realized trap geometries. Experiments are discussed that study the interaction between atoms and the surface of micro traps as well as the dynamics of ultracold gases in wave guides are discussed. The results allow for an outlook towards future directions of research.
