Interaction of Ultracold Atoms with Carbon Nanotubes — •Philipp Schneeweiß¹, Michael Gierling¹, Gabriela Visanescu¹, Michael Häffner², Dieter Kern², Andreas Günther¹, and József Fortágh¹ — ¹Physikalisches Institut, Universität Tübingen, Auf der Morgenstelle 14, D-72076 Tübingen — ²Institut für Angewandte Physik, Universität Tübingen, Auf der Morgenstelle 10, D-72076 Tübingen

We developed an ultracold atom experiment for studying interactions between 87Rb atoms and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Atomic clouds are loaded in a MOT and transported magnetically to the nanotubes that are placed on the surface of an atom chip. An integrated magnetic conveyor belt facilitates precise 3D positioning of the atoms near the CNTs. We will report on the experimental progress.
