Bose-Einstein condensation in a circular waveguide

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

We have produced Bose-Einstein condensates in a ring-shaped magnetic waveguide. The few-millimeter diameter non-zero bias ring is formed from a time-averaged quadrupole ring. Condensates which propagate around the ring make several revolutions within the time it takes for them to expand to fill the ring. The ring shape is ideally suited for studies of vorticity in a multiply-connected geometry and is promising as a rotation sensor.
