Isotropic Landau levels of relativistic and non-relativistic fermions in 3D flat
Abstract: We generalize the two-dimensional Landau level problem to three dimensions and above for both the relativistic and non-relativistic cases. For the 3D case filled with fermions, the systems ...

Generating sodium spinor Bose-Einstein condensates in hybrid magnetic quadrupole
Abstract: We present the design and construction of a novel apparatus to rapidly and simply generate a 23Na Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in hybrid magnetic and optical traps. Sodium atoms are colle...
