Enhanced oscillation lifetime of a Bose–Einstein condensate in the 3D/1D crossover

We have measured the damped motion of a trapped Bose–Einstein condensate, oscillating with respect to a thermal cloud. The cigar-shaped trapping potential provides enough transverse confinement that the dynamics of the system are intermediate between three-dimensional and one-dimensional. We find th...
