Abstract
Embodiments herein describe techniques for designing a magnetic coil. The coil can include a coil mount where current-carrying wires are wrapped around the mount, or a current-carrying bar where the electric current flows through the part itself. Embodiments herein also describe non-planar magnetic coils for magneto-optical trap (MOTs).
Claims27
A method, comprising:
- providing a constraint for designing a magnetic coil;
- and
- generating a shape of the magnetic coil that satisfies the constraint by iteratively:
- calculating a magnetic field generated by the shape,
- determining, using an objective function, a closeness between the magnetic field generated by the shape and a desired magnetic field, and
- adjusting the shape based on the closeness and to satisfy the constraint.
3 more elements
A method, comprising:
- providing a constraint for designing a magnetic coil for a MOT;
- and
- generating a shape of the magnetic coil that satisfies the constraint by comparing a magnetic field generated by the shape to a desired magnetic field for the MOT.
A magnetic coil, comprising:
- a current carrying component configured to generate a magnetic field for trapping atoms in a MOT,
- wherein the current carrying component is non-planar.
A MOT, comprising
- a first magnetic coil comprising a first current carrying component configured to generate a magnetic field for trapping atoms in the MOT, wherein the first current carrying component is non-planar;
- and
- a second magnetic coil comprising a second current carrying component configured to generate a magnetic field for trapping atoms in the MOT, wherein the second current carrying component is non-planar.
