We describe manipulation of neutral atoms using the magnetic field of microfabricated current-carrying conductors. It is shown how this method can be used to achieve adiabatic magnetic transport from one reservoir to another. In the first experimental realization of a microfabricated magnetic neutral-atom trap, efficient loading is achieved with a novel mirror-magneto-optic trap. A cloud of rubidium atoms is stored and compressed using the magnetic field of a ``U''-shaped wire carrying a current of 2 A. An evaporation mechanism is demonstrated which removes hot atoms from the trap by collisions with the substrate surface.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated interferometer based on a simple coherent matter-wave beam splitter constructed on an atom chip is presented, where the authors demonstrate the splitting of Bose-Einstein condensates into two clouds separated by distances ranging from 3 to 80μm.

TL;DR: An experiment combining a fibre-based cavity with atom-chip technology enables single-atom cavity quantum electrodynamics experiments with a simplified set-up and realizes the situation of many atoms in a cavity, each of which is identically and strongly coupled to the cavity mode.

Microscopic atom optics: from wires to an atom chip
TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of the development of micro traps, from the first experiments on guiding atoms using current carrying wires in the early 1990's to the creation of a BEC on an atom chip, can be found in this article.

Bose–Einstein condensation on a microelectronic chip
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the formation of a condensate can be greatly simplified using a microscopic magnetic trap on a chip, and the possibility of manipulating laser-like coherent matter waves with such an integrated atom-optical system holds promise for applications in interferometry, holography, microscopy, atom lithography and quantum information processing.
