The research projects in the BEC group
Rubidium team: BEC on a curved surface

A radio-frequency dressed bubble-shape trap enables the
study of fast rotating Bose gases. Thanks to a newly developed
gravity compensation scheme we aim at studying two-dimensional
vortex turbulence on a curved surface.
See the Rubidium project page.

Theory: Quantum anomaly in 2D
 Fig. 3 |
In a recent theoric work, we studied the effect of a quantum anomaly on a Bose gas confined to 2 dimensions. The anomaly produces a small shift of the frequency of the breathing mode. We proposed a way to observe this effect in an experiment. Left: TOF image of a BEC in a dressed quadrupole trap. |
