Experiments with Ultracold Atoms in an Optical Cavity

ORAL

Abstract

Magnetically-trapped ultracold atoms provide a robust, long-lived atomic source for many-atom cavity QED.~We have developed a system which is capable of placing a large ensemble of $^{87}$Rb atoms within the confines of a high finesse optical cavity. Recent experimental progress will be discussed.
