Superconducting Microtraps for Bose-Einstein Condensates — •Brian Kasch, Daniel Cano, Dieter Koelle, Reinhold Kleiner, Claus Zimmermann, and Jozsef Fortagh — Physikalisches Institut der Universitaet Tuebingen, Auf der Morgenstelle 14, 72076

We are building an experiment to produce Bose-Einstein Condensates in a microtrap with superconducting niobium wires. The microtrap will be cooled below 5K by the cold finger of a cryostat inside a vacuum chamber. Condensates will initially be produced in a compact Ioffe trap setup, and then transfered via optical tweezers to the chip located 5 cm away. The chip design will include periodic microstructures for novel atom optics experiments. Early experiments will probe the interaction of the cold surface with the condensate, and the coupling of superconducting-condensate wavefunctions.
