Decoherence issues for cold atoms near surfaces
Wednesday 29 September 2004, 11:45-12:30
Seminar Room 1, Newton Institute
Abstract
I will discuss how cold atoms can be manipulated by atom chips to form quantum registers, and discuss the heating and loss of coherence of such atoms close to the guiding structures. My talk will be theoretical, but will relate to the experimental programme underway at Imperial College led by Prof E A Hinds
