Microtraps and Atom Chips: Toolboxes for Cold Atom PhysicsDOI: 10.1023/B:GERG.0000046185.40077.c9 Abstract: Magnetic microtraps and Atom Chips are safe, small-scale, reliable and flexible tools to prepare ultra-cold and degenerate atom clouds as sources for various atom-optical experiments. We present an overview of the possibilities of the devices and indicate how a microtrap can be used to prepare and launch a Bose-Einstein condensate for use in an atom clock or an interferometer.
