TLDR
A Bose-Einstein condensate was produced in a vapor of rubidium-87 atoms that was confined by magnetic fields and evaporatively cooled and exhibited a nonthermal, anisotropic velocity distribution expected of the minimum-energy quantum state of the magnetic trap in contrast to the isotropic, thermal velocity distribution observed in the broad uncondensed fraction.Abstract:
A Bose-Einstein condensate was produced in a vapor of rubidium-87 atoms that was confined by magnetic fields and evaporatively cooled. The condensate fraction first appeared near a temperature of 170 nanokelvin and a number density of 2.5 x 10 12 per cubic centimeter and could be preserved for more than 15 seconds. Three primary signatures of Bose-Einstein condensation were seen. (i) On top of a broad thermal velocity distribution, a narrow peak appeared that was centered at zero velocity. (ii) The fraction of the atoms that were in this low-velocity peak increased abruptly as the sample temperature was lowered. (iii) The peak exhibited a nonthermal, anisotropic velocity distribution expected of the minimum-energy quantum state of the magnetic trap in contrast to the isotropic, thermal velocity distribution observed in the broad uncondensed fraction.read more

Yang-Baxter integrable models in experiments: from condensed matter to ultracold atoms
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of the impact of the Yang-Baxter integrable models on experiments in condensed matter physics and ultracold atoms, including the hard-hexagon model, Heisenberg spin chain, transverse quantum Ising chain, a spin ladder model, the Lieb-Liniger Bose gas, the Gaudin-Yang Fermi gas and the two-site Bose-Hubbard model.

Magnon-phonon interactions in magnon spintronics
TL;DR: In this article, a wide range of phenomena starting from the interaction of the coherent magnons with surface acoustic wave and finishing with the formation of magnon supercurrents in the thermal gradients are discussed.

A new Sobolev gradient method for direct minimization of the Gross-Pitaevskii energy with rotation
Ionut Danaila,Parimah Kazemi +1 more
TL;DR: This paper improves traditional steepest descent methods for the direct minimization of the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) energy with rotation at two levels by defining a new inner product to equip the Sobolev space and derive the corresponding gradient.

Output Coupler for Bose-Einstein Condensed Atoms
TL;DR: In this paper, an output coupler for Bose condensed atoms in a magnetic trap was demonstrated, where short pulses of rf radiation were used to create Bose condensates in a superposition of trapped and untrapped hyperfine states.
