Using a Superfluid for Dark-State Atomic Cooling

“We are reviving key ideas used 15 years ago in the context of laser cooling and quantum optics and putting them in a completely new context,” Peter Zoller tells PhysOrg.com. Zoller, a professor at the University of Innsbruck in Austria, describes a new cooling method by which atoms in an optical lattice could reach temperatures much lower than what be achieved now.
