We demonstrate trapping of an ultracold gas of neutral atoms in a macroscopic ac electric trap. Three-dimensional confinement is obtained by switching between two saddle-point configurations of the electric field. Stable trapping is…
We trap neutral ground-state rubidium atoms in a macroscopic trap based on purely electric fields. For this, three electrostatic field configurations are alternated in a periodic manner. The rubidium is precooled in a magneto-optical trap,…
We report the trapping of ultracold 87Rb atoms in a 0.7 micron-period 2D triangular magnetic lattice on an atom chip. The magnetic lattice is created by a lithographically patterned magnetic Co/Pd multilayer film plus bias fields. Rubidium…
We study the dynamic behavior of ultracold neutral atoms in a macroscopic ac electric trap. Confinement in such a trap is achieved by switching between two saddle-point configurations of the electric field. The gradual formation of a stably…

We propose a novel trap for confining cold neutral atoms in a microscopic ring using a magneto-electrostatic potential. The trapping potential is derived from a combination of a repulsive magnetic field from a hard drive atom mirror and the…
Three-dimensional (3D) micro-electromagnets were developed to control particle motion in magnetic field landscapes in vacuum near a chip. Multiple layers of micron-scale conductors separated by transparent insulators create particle…
Three-dimensional trapping of neutral atoms in a combined gravito-magnetic potential is reported. Clouds of cold rubidium atoms in different hyperfine states of the ground level were trapped with a lifetime of 4.5 s. Confinement exclusively…
We have measured the trapping lifetime of magnetically trapped atoms in a cryogenic atom-chip experiment. An ultracold atomic cloud is kept at a fixed distance from a thin gold layer deposited on top of a superconducting trapping wire. The…
We study the electromagnetic coupling and concomitant heating of a particle in a miniaturized trap close to a solid surface. Two dominant heating mechanisms are identified: proximity fields generated by thermally excited currents in the…
A new geometry to trap neutral particles with an ac electric field using a simple electrodes structure is described. In this geometry, all electrodes are placed on a single chip plane, while particles are levitated above the chip. This…
