Ring trap for ultracold atoms
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-08, 08:07 authored by Olivier Morizot, Yves Colombe, Vincent Lorent, Hélène Perrin, Barry M. GarrawayBarry M. GarrawayWe propose a toroidal trap designed for ultracold atoms. It relies on a combination of a magnetic trap for rf-dressed atoms, which creates a bubble-like trap, and a standing wave of light. This trap is well-suited for investigating questions of low dimensionality in a ring potential. We study the trap characteristics for a set of experimentally accessible parameters. A loading procedure from a conventional magnetic trap is also proposed. The flexible nature of this ring trap, including an adjustable radius and adjustable transverse oscillation frequencies, will allow the study of superfluidity in variable geometries and dimensionalities.
