Transport of magnetically sensitive atoms in a magnetic environment
Abstract
Among interesting applications of cold atoms, quantum simulations attract a lot of attention. In this context, rare-earth ultracold atoms are particularly appealing for such simulators due to their numerous Fano–Feshbach resonances and magnetic dipole moments in the ground state. Creating a quantum gas microscope requires a large optical access that may be achieved using the transport of atoms between separate vacuum volumes. We demonstrate that in the case of the transport of magnetic atoms, the magnetic field can be directly measured and adjusted to reduce additional losses after the transport, therefore increasing the efficiency of subsequent evaporation cooling. This approach allows to transfer over 85% of the atoms from the main chamber to the scientific chamber, located 38 cm away with moderate laser power of 26 W without atomic polarization decay.
