| As part of the
Mitacs Globalink Program, I did a summer research intership on AMO at Simon
Fraser University (SFU). The main aim of the project was to propose and
design a new atom trap to replace the permanent magnet model used by the
McGuirk Research Group. In order to test the performance and feasibility of
the new design, I developed a series of MATLAB simulations for the magnetic field
inside the coils. The model allowed to manipulate both geometrical parameters and power consumption, so that the system's DOFs could be fitted within the physical and practical constraints. We also probed relevant observables such as aspect ratio and trapping frequencies. Below, some of the simulations results are presented. |
