Measurement of the Casimir-Polder force through center-of-mass oscillations of a Bose-Einstein condensate

David Murray Harber; John Obrecht; Jeffrey McGuirk; Eric A. Cornell

We have performed a measurement of the Casimir-Polder force using a magnetically trapped {sup 87}Rb Bose-Einstein condensate. By detecting perturbations of the frequency of center-of-mass oscillations of the condensate perpendicular to the surface, we are able to detect this force at a distance {approx}5 {mu}m, significantly farther than has been previously achieved, and at a precision approaching that needed to detect the modification due to thermal radiation. Additionally, this technique provides a limit for the presence of non-Newtonian gravity forces in the {approx}1 {mu}m range.

Thermally Induced Losses in Ultra-Cold Atoms Magnetically Trapped Near Room-Temperature Surfaces

David Murray Harber; Jeffrey McGuirk; John Obrecht; Eric A. Cornell

We have measured magnetic trap lifetimes of ultra-cold 87Rb atoms at distances of 5–1000 µm from surfaces of conducting metals with varying resistivity. Good agreement is found with a theoretical model for losses arising from near-field magnetic thermal noise, confirming the complications associated with holding trapped atoms close to conducting surfaces. A dielectric surface (silicon) was found in contrast to be so benign that we are able to evaporatively cool atoms to a Bose–Einstein condensate by using the surface to selectively adsorb higher energy atoms.

adsorbates is studied on titanium (metal) and silicon (semiconductor) surfaces, which exhibit nearly identical properties, and on glass (insulator), which displays a smaller transitory electrical effect. The limits of this technique in detecting electrical fields and ramifications for measurements of short-range forces near surfaces are discussed.

Domain wall dynamics of a non-degenerate gas

Robert Ragan; Sean Graham; Dorna Niroomand; Jeffrey McGuirk

We present the first spatially resolved images of spin waves in a gas. The complete longitudinal and transverse spin field as a function of time and space is reconstructed. Frequencies and damping rates for a standing-wave mode are extracted and compared with theory.
