When kT < then there are very few thermal excitations extending outside of condensate. Thus evaporation cooling power is small.

BEC experiments must be completedwithin limited time.
Bang!
Three-body molecular-formation processcauses condensate to decay, and heat!Lifetime longer at lower density, but physics goes more slowly at lower density!

If electromagnets are based on “Atom chip”design, one can have sharper, more structuredmagnetic potentials.

If electromagnets are based on “Atom chip”design, one can have sharper, more structuredmagnetic potentials.But there is a way to escape entirelyfrom the boring rules of magnetostatics….

One pair of beams: standing wave in intensity
Can provide tight confinement in 1-D with almostfree motion in 2-d. (pancakes)
This is a one-D array of quasi-2d condensates
![Page 32: A review of atomic-gas Bose-Einstein condensation experiments for Workshop: “Hawking Radiation in condensed-matter systems” Eric Cornell JILA Boulder,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649cb05503460f949754f2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Two pairs of beams:
Can provide tight confinement in 2-D, almost-free motion in 1-d (tubes)
Can have a two-D array of quasi-1d condensates
![Page 33: A review of atomic-gas Bose-Einstein condensation experiments for Workshop: “Hawking Radiation in condensed-matter systems” Eric Cornell JILA Boulder,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649cb05503460f949754f2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Why K-T on a lattice?
1.Ease of quantitative comparison.2. Makes it easier to get a quasi-2d system3.This is the Frontier in Lattices Session!!! (come on!)Our aspect ratio, (2.8:1), is modest, but...addition of 2-d lattice makes phase fluctuations much “cheaper” in 2 of 3 dimensions.
z, the “thin dimension”
x, y, the two “large dimemsions”.

Three pairs of beams:
Can provide tight confinement in 3-D, (dots)
Can have a three-D array of quasi-0d condensates

Single laser beam brought to a focus.
Rayleighrange
Can provide a single potential (not an array of potentials)with extreme, quasi-1D aspect ratio.
Additional, weaker beams can change free-particle dispersion relation.

Near-resonant imaging:absorption. signal-noisetypically good, but sampleis destroyed.
Off-resonant imaging:index of refraction mapping. Signal-noise typically less good, but (mostly) nondestructive..

Absorption imaging: one usuallyinterprets images as of a continuousdensity distribution, but density distribution actually os made up discrete quanta of mass known, (in my subdiscipline of physics) as“atoms”.. Hard to see an individual atom,but can see effects of the discrete nature.
Absorption depth observed in a given box of area A is OD= (N0 +/- N0
1/2) /A
The N01/2 term is the”atom
shot noise”. and it can dominatetechnical noise in the image.

Atom shot noise will likely be an important backgroundeffect which can obscure Hawking radiation unlessexperiment is designed well.

N.B: imaging atoms with light is not the only way to detect them:
I think we will hear from Chris Westbrook about detecting individual metastable atoms.

the same excitation nowevolves much larger densityfluctuations.
But, if we turn offinteractions suddenly ( goes to zero), and wait a little bit:
Can you DO that?

Suddenly turn off laser beam….
