  • AtomChip device
    Patent number: 8309909
    Abstract: An AtomChip device and a method for trapping, manipulating and measuring atoms in ultra high vacuum chamber, and for increasing the lifetime of the trapped atoms, the AtomChip device including at least one conductive element, made of metal, wherein at least part of the metal is a dilute alloy metal, and wherein the at least one conductive element has a low working temperature.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 29, 2006
    Date of Patent: November 13, 2012
    Assignee: B.G. Negev Technologies and Applications
    Inventors: Valery Dikovsky, Ron Folman, Yoni Japha
  • Atom chip device
    Patent number: 8247760
    Abstract: Ultra-cold (nano-Kelvin) neutral atoms can be trapped, manipulated, and measured, using integrated current carrying micro-structures on a nearby surface (Atom Chips). This can be utilized for the realization of ultra-sensitive sensors and quantum computation devices based on the quantum mechanical properties of the trapped atoms. However, harmful processes arise from the interactions between the atoms and the nearby surface. According to the present invention these harmful processes can be highly suppressed by using electrically anisotropic materials. It is shown that time-independent trapping potential corrugation leading to fragmentation of the trapped atom cloud can be suppressed, and that time dependent noise processes arising from the coupling of atoms to the nearby surface, and leading to loss of atoms from the trap, heating and loss of coherence can be significantly reduced.
