What are they?

Static Magnetic Traps produced by nanofabricated devices

Why are they?

• Compact
• Intense Gradients
• High precision control
• Use magnetic, electric, and dynamic fields
• Image Potentials

But

Compact => high densities

=> 3 body collisions

How close can we go to the surface?

What do they need?

Avoid  Majorana Spin Flips

Solution

Use Magnetic Bias

aligned -> unaligned spin

=> no longer trapped

A Set Up

Application- Imaging Potentials
