Abstract

For trapping atoms, an x-axis wire carries an x-axis current I₀cos Ωt, wherein I₀ is current amplitude, Ω is a trap field frequency, and t is time. A y-axis wire carries a y-axis current I₀sin Ωt, the y-axis wire intersecting the x-axis wire at a cross center. A β-field coil generates a transverse magnetic bias field β rotating about the cross center and perpendicular to a z axis. A γ-field coil generates a longitudinal magnetic bias field γ rotating about the cross center and perpendicular to the z axis. The x-axis wire, the y-axis wire, the transverse magnetic bias field β, and the longitudinal magnetic bias field γ form a time-averaged trap along the z axis near the cross center.
