Description

An easily scalable toroidal geometry presents an opportunity for creating large-scale persistent currents in Bose-Einstein condensates, for studies of the Kibble-Zurek mechanism, and for investigations of toroidally trapped degenerate Fermi gases. We consider in detail the process of isentropic loading of a Bose or Fermi gas from a harmonic trap into the scale-invariant toroidal regime that exhibits a high degree of system invariance when increasing the radius of the toroid. The heating invol...
