Circulation Transfer Between Adjacent Target Bose-Einstein Condensates, Charles B. Henry
Honors College Theses
We propose an atomtronic rotation sensor design that consists of an array of Bose-Einstein Condensates (BECs) that are confined in a double-target-array potential. The rotation sensor's purpose is to measure the speed of the rotating frame, with respect to the “fixed stars", the sensor rests in. The atomtronic system is an ultracold gas of sodium atoms that have been compressed by laser light into a thin quasi-2D horizontal plane and further confined in the horizontal plane by a double-target-array potential. A target BEC is a combination of disk BEC that is surrounded by a ring BEC. A double-target BEC is …
