  1. 703. Project ALPHA: Applying AMO Physics to Antimatter and Using Antimatter to Study AMO Physics
    Prof. Robert Thompson (University of Calgary)

    Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, Canada / Division de la physique atomique, moléculaire et photonique, Canada (DAMOPC-DPAMPC)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    In 2010, the ALPHA Collaboration working at the AD Facility at CERN achieved the first capture and storage of atomic antimatter with our confinement of low temperature antihydrogen in an Ioffe-type magnetic minimum atom trap. [1] This achievement was only reached through the application of a range of tools and techniques from an interdisciplinary spectrum of fields, including AMO Physics. ...

    Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)
    In 2011, the ALPHA collaboration created and trapped neutral anti-hydrogen particles for the first time in history [1]. Key to this achievement was the demonstration of evaporative cooling of charged particles in a Penning Trap, a cooling method that had not previously been achieved with trapped low temperature ions [2]. Work is currently underway at the University of Calgary to...

  3. 447. Demonstration of a Microtrap Array and manipulation of Array Elements
    Dr Bin Jian (National Research Council)

    Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)
    A novel magnetic microtrap has been demonstrated for ultracold neutral atoms [1]. It consists of two concentric currents loops having radii r1 and r2. A magnetic field minimum is generated along the axis of the loops if oppositely oriented currents flow through the loops. Selecting r2/r1 = 2.2 maximizes the restoring force to the trap center. The strength and position of the microtrap...

  4. 646. Engineered spin-orbit coupling in ultracold quantum gases

    Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, Canada / Division de la physique atomique, moléculaire et photonique, Canada (DAMOPC-DPAMPC)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    Ultracold quantum gases are an ideal medium with which to explore the many-body behaviour of quantum systems. With a century of research in atomic physics at the foundation, a wide variety of techniques are available for manipulating the parameters that govern the behaviour of these systems, including tuning the interactions between particles and manipulating their potential energy...
