Bose-Einstein Condensate on a Persistent-Supercurrent Atom Chip

We achieved 87Rb Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) on a persistent supercurrent atom chip by a radio frequency induced evaporative cooling. The condensation was verified by the time-of-flight (TOF) imaging of the bimodal momentum distribution obtained at vf = 1.750 MHz. (Page 39)
