Sensing electric and magnetic fields with Bose-Einstein condensates

We experimentally demonstrate that one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates brought close to microfabricated wires on an atom chip are a very sensitive sensor for magnetic and electric fields reaching a sensitivity to potential variations of ∼10−14eV at 3μm spatial resolution. We measure a two-dimensional magnetic field map 10μm above a 100-μm-wide wire …
