Precise control of magnetic fields and optical polarization in a time-orbiting potential trap
Precise control of magnetic fields and optical polarization in a time-orbiting potential trap
A time-orbiting potential trap confines neutral atoms in a rotating magnetic field. The rotation of the field can be useful for precision measurements, since it can average out some systematic effects. However, the field is more difficult to characterize than a static field, and it makes light applied to the …
