集成原子光学：原子芯片

Integrated atom optics: atom chips

摘要: 原子光学是当前研究得比较热的学科，由于原子激光冷却技术和纳米技术的成熟，原子光学朝着微型化和集成化的方向发展.文章主要介绍了当前集成原子光学的一个焦点——原子芯片及其最新实验进展：包括不同形式的原子导引方式，当前原子芯片的实验工作，原子芯片在玻色－爱因斯坦凝聚（BEC）研究中的应用，以及原子芯片在其他方面的应用前景.

Abstract: Atom optics is a maturing field of research. As a result of rapid progress in laser cooling and microfabrication technology, atom optics has seen great development with regard to miniaturization and integration. We review the lastest experimental advances in atom chip fabrication, a main focus of integrated atom optics, including various types of atom guides, improvement of the atom chips, application of the clips in Bose－Einstein condensate future potential applications.
