Producing Bose condensates using optical lattices
arXiv:cond-mat/0205243 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.89.090404
Abstract
We relate the entropies of ensembles of atoms in optical lattices to atoms in simple traps. We then determine which ensembles of lattice-bound atoms will adiabatically transform into a Bose condensate. This shows a feasible approach to Bose condensation without evaporative cooling.
