Abstract

A magnetic waveguide structure allows switching of neutral atoms between two guides. The switch consists of lithographically patterned current-carry-carrying wires on a sapphire substrate. By selectively sending current through a particular set of wires, we select the desired output port of an incoming beam. We utilize two different magnetic-guiding schemes to adiabatically manipulate the atom trajectory.
