Bose-Einstein condensation on a permanent-magnet atom chip

Bose-Einstein condensation on a permanent-magnet atom chip

We have produced a Bose-Einstein condensate on a permanent-magnet atom chip based on periodically magnetized videotape. We observe the expansion and dynamics of the condensate in one of the microscopic waveguides close to the surface. The lifetime for atoms to remain trapped near this dielectric material is significantly longer than …
