Transportable cold atom experiments open up a new path for applications in e. g. geodesy, where the differential gravitational red shift can be measured by comparing two spatially separated atomic clocks. This thesis describes the design and set-up …
This thesis describes the construction of a second generation, ultracold atomic mixture experiment, aiming for modularity, robustness and compactness. The setup is designed to work with Bose-Fermi (23Na, 40K) and Bose-Bose (23Na, 39K) mixtures. The …
This thesis describes the construction of a new apparatus to study quantum gas mixtures of sodium and potassium. Our experimental approach entails, using two independent two-dimensional magnetooptical traps (2D MOTs) as sources of cold atoms for a …
