Book Description
The experimental realisation of Bose-Einstein condensation in 1995 opened up a wealth of opportunities for probing quantum states of matter. The development of many tools used to manipulate such ultracold samples and the rapid progress on understanding these systems will ultimately lead to great technological advances. The work described in this thesis contributes to this worldwide effort and here we present experiments which investigate the properties and behaviour of ultracold atoms.
