TITLE : Solving Problems in Atomic Superfluid Rotation with Cavity Optomechanics

ABSTRACT :

This talk will describe our ongoing work on annularly trapped Bose-Einstein condensates coupled to optical cavities using Laguerre-Gauss beams. Topics will include minimally destructive measurement of atomic rotation, superfluid drag and optical memories.
