Experiments with ultracold atoms in an optical cavity

ORAL

Abstract

Magnetically-trapped ultracold atoms provide a robust, long-lived atomic source for many-atom cavity QED.~ We have developed a system which is capable of placing a large ensemble of Rb-87 atoms within the confines of a high finesse optical cavity.~ Recent experimental progress will be discussed.
