This book deals with applications in several areas of science and technology that make use
of light which carries orbital angular momentum. In most practical scenarios, the angular …

We investigate the interaction of a laser-cooled trapped ion (Ba+ or Rb+) with an optically
confined Rb 87 Bose-Einstein condensate. The system features interesting dynamics of the …

We describe an apparatus for quickly and simply producing R 87 b Bose-Einstein
condensates. It is based on a magnetic quadrupole trap and a red-detuned optical dipole …

Despite almost a century's worth of study, it is still unclear how general relativity (GR) and
quantum theory (QT) should be unified into a consistent theory. The conventional approach …

We have experimentally observed the dynamics of an antiferromagnetic sodium Bose-
Einstein condensate quenched through a quantum phase transition. Using an off-resonant …

The bulk–boundary correspondence, a fundamental principle relating the topological
invariants of the bulk to the presence of edge states, is modified in periodically driven …

With experimental realization of atomic Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) and rapid
development of laser cooling and trapping techniques, all optical routes to quantum …

We report on the creation of dual-species Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) of Na 23
atoms and Cs 133 atoms. We demonstrate sympathetic cooling of Cs with Na in a magnetic …

In this chapter we review the field of radio frequency dressed atom trapping. We emphasize
the role of adiabatic potentials and give simple but generic models of electromagnetic fields …

Volume 54 of the Advances in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics Series contains ten
contributions, covering a diversity of subject areas in atomic, molecular and optical physics …
