| Schematic of how laser light is used to simulate a magnetic field: perpendicular laser beams (red arrows) are fired at a BEC (green cloud), which is also exposed to a magnetic field gradient (purple arrow). The result is similar to a magnetic field (blue arrow) and the atoms behave like charged particles (inset). (Courtesy: NIST) |
