New Integrated Devices for Cold Atom Manipulation — •T. Rom, P. Hommelhoff, W. Hänsel, J. Reichel, and T. W. Hänsch — MPI für Quantenoptik und Sektion Physik der Universität München, 80799 München

We apply microchip technologies to create new devices for coherent cold-atom manipulation. Building upon our “magnetic conveyer belt” device, we are exploring new devices that become possible with this approach, such as a simple scheme to transport trapped atoms over macroscopic distances and around curves. The poster shows how such lithographic atom manipulation devices are implemented experimentally.
