The lab conducts experiments on Bose-Einstein condensates, manipulating atoms cooled with lasers.
AboutAbout the lab
Mastering lasers to manipulate ultracold atoms.
The Kishimoto Lab uses cooled atomic gases to conduct experiments on Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs).
The lab plans to pursue the development of a method for producing BECs continuously and the study of quantized vortices that form when a BEC is rotated.
As an experimental lab, it builds on laser technology to help members acquire a broad range of skills in optics, circuits, control systems, vacuum systems, and fabrication.
Bachelor's and master's thesis titles include the development of light sources used for laser cooling of rubidium-87 atoms.
Key terms
- Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)
- A state that appears when a gas of atoms is cooled to extremely low temperatures, in which many atoms gather in the same quantum state
- Quantized vortex
- A vortex with quantized circulation that forms when a BEC is rotated
- Laser cooling
- A method of slowing atoms with laser light to lower their temperature

ResearchResearch themes
The Kishimoto Lab conducts experiments using Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) made from cooled atomic gases. It hopes to work on developing a method for producing BECs continuously and on studying quantized vortices and related topics.
*Illustrative imageDevelopment of a method for producing BECs continuously
In past experiments, BECs have been re-created and measured every few seconds to several tens of seconds. Considering that this production pace has limited the kinds of experiments that can be done, the lab hopes to develop a method for generating BECs continuously.
*Illustrative imageQuantized vortices and rotation of two-component BECs
Rotating a BEC produces quantized vortices, in which the circulation is quantized. Focusing on this quantization of circulation, the lab is considering research on quantized vortices and on the blocking and dynamics of rotational phase matching in two-component BECs.
