Atom chips thus form a compact platform for experiments with ultracold atoms and Bose-Einstein condensates and can supplement or replace complex conventional coil and magnet arrangements.<\/p>\n
Microstructured magnetic traps for cold atoms<\/h3>\n
The precisely manufactured conductor structures enable the generation of strongly spatially defined magnetic fields. This allows atoms to be trapped near the chip surface and manipulated in a controlled manner.<\/p>\n
The compact geometry enables high field gradients with comparatively low electrical power and is particularly suited for compact cold atom systems and experimental quantum technologies.<\/p>\n
Integration into ultra-high vacuum systems<\/h3>\n
The atom chips are for use in ultra-high vacuum systems (UHV)<\/strong> designed and can be integrated directly into corresponding vacuum cells and cold atom platforms.<\/p>\n I'm Infleqtion's RuBECi system<\/strong> for example, the atom chip forms part of the science cell, enabling the trapping and manipulation of ultracold atoms there. Among other things, the system uses this architecture for the rapid generation of Bose-Einstein condensates.<\/p>\n Depending on the experimental task, different atom chip configurations are available. In addition to standard versions, Infleqtion also offers variants with windows, customized structures and integrated optics<\/strong> to. The systems can be used for experiments with Rubidium or cesium<\/strong> be deployed.<\/p>\n This allows chip geometry, optical access, and integration to be specifically adapted to the respective experimental setup.<\/p>\nStandard and custom designs<\/h3>\n
