Part of Focus on Modern Frontiers of Matter Wave Optics and Interferometry: We report on the guided transport of an atomic sample along an optical waveguide up to a room-temperature dielectric surface. The technique exploits a simple hybrid trap cons... Read More about Guided transport of ultracold gases of rubidium up to a room-temperature dielectric surface.

We report the production of a high phase-space density mixture of 87Rb and 133Cs atoms in a levitated crossed optical dipole trap as the first step towards the creation of ultracold RbCs molecules via magneto-association. We present a simple and robu... Read More about A high phase-space density mixture of (87)Rb and (133)Cs: towards ultracold heteronuclear molecules.

We report the formation of a dual-species Bose-Einstein condensate of 87Rb and 133Cs in the same trapping potential. Our method exploits the efficient sympathetic cooling of 133Cs via elastic collisions with 87Rb, initially in a magnetic quadrupole t...

We propose a method to split the ground state of an attractively interacting atomic Bose-Einstein condensate into two bright solitary waves with controlled relative phase and velocity. We analyze the stability of these waves against their subsequent... Read More about Realizing bright-matter-wave-soliton collisions with controlled relative phase.
