Driving Bose-Einstein-Condensate Vorticity With a Rotating Normal Cloud

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
P C. Haljan, Ian R. Coddington, P Engels, Eric A. Cornell
We have developed an evaporative cooling technique that accelerates the circulation of an ultra-cold 87Rb gas, confined in a static harmonicpotential. As a normal gas is evaporatively spun up and cooled below quantum degeneracy, it is found to nucleate

Dynamics of Collapsing and Exploding Bose-Einstein Condensates

July 1, 2001
Author(s)
E A. Donley, N R. Claussen, S L. Cornish, J L. Roberts, Eric A. Cornell, C E. Wieman
We have explored the dynamics of how a Bose-Einstein condensate collapses when it is suddenly put into the unstable regime of attractiveinteractions. The ability to change the strength and sign of the inter-atomic interactions by tuning the magnetic field

Controlled Collapse of a Bose-Einstein Condensate

May 1, 2001
Author(s)
J L. Roberts, N R. Claussen, S L. Cornish, E A. Donley, Eric A. Cornell, C E. Wieman
The point of instability of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) due to attractive interactions was studied. Stable 85Rb BECs were created and then caused to collapse by slowly changing the atom-atom interaction from repulsive to attractive using a Feshbach
