Superfluid Atom Circuits

POSTER

Abstract

We have constructed basic atom circuits using all optical potentials on an ultracold sodium gas. In the thermal case, we have shown that these circuits contain a structure that is analogous to resistance. In the case of the BEC, where we have a superfluid, it is less clear what the proper analogy is. We will show our progress toward creating this system, and fully exploring its dynamics.
