Propagation of cold atoms along a miniature magnetic guide
A cloud of laser-cooled 85Rb atoms is coupled through a magnetic funnel into a miniature waveguide formed by four current-carrying wires embedded in a silica fiber. The atom cloud has a ~100 µm radius within the fiber and propagates over cm distances. We study the coupling, propagation, and transver...
