Bose-Einstein condensation

This thesis describes the design, construction and optimisation of two compact setups to produce ⁸⁷Rb Bose-Einstein condensates and dual ⁷Li-⁸⁷Rb Magneto- Optical Traps (MOTs). The motivation for compact systems is to have simplified systems to cool the atoms. The first experime…

The subject of this thesis work is numerical solution of the time-independent Gross-Pitaevskii equation [special characters omitted]which we write here in the unit-less form. This equation plays a central role in modeling of the Bose-Einstein condensates. The constant of non-lin…
