Atom chips are a well suited toolbox for a new, promising research field: The combination of quantum optics and condensed-matter systems. A first milestone in this direction is to show that a designed, controllable interaction between atoms and nano-structured solid state systems can be established and measured.
We are currently setting up an experiment to couple the thermally induced oscillation of a nano-mechanical beam resonator to a nearby Bose-Einstein condensate via a magnetic interaction. A small island of ferromagnetic material at the center of the beam causes a magnetic dipole field with an oscillating contribution. At the position of the atoms the field oscillation can cause observable trap loss if it is resonant with atomic spin-flip transitions to untrapped magnetic sublevels. Sweeping the static field of the trap and with it the spin-flip resonance reveals the frequency spectrum of the beam.
The experiment provides a new method to measure the room temperature spectrum of nano-resonators, thereby demonstrating the controlled interaction with trapped atoms. Beyond this it allows to study the conditions for coherent coupling of such systems.
