Optimized evaporative cooling using a dimple potential: an efficient route to Bose-Einstein condensation

The realization of Bose-Einstein condensation of 133Cs relies on an innovative evaporative cooling technique using a dimple potential. Correctly loading an atomic gas into such a potential produces a dense sample with a high phase space density, ideal for evaporative cooling. We have numerically sim...
