Abstract:A Bose-Einstein condensate of 87Rb has been produced in a microscopic magnetic trap on a chip. The evaporative cooling time is on the order of 2s. The experimental setup is simple, with much less stringent vacuum requirements than in previous BEC experiments. The integrated approach gives easy access to complex magnetic manipulation. One example is an integrated atom interferometer working with trapped atoms.
