摘要: As a novel approach for turning the peculiar features of quantum mechanics into practical devices, researchers are investigating use ultracold atomic clouds above microchips. Such "atom chips" may find as sensitive probes gravity, acceleration, rotation, and tiny magnetic forces. In their Perspective, [FortAigh Zimmermann][1] discuss recent advances toward creating atom chips, in which current-carrying conductors chips create microtraps that confine clouds. Despite some intrinsic limits to performance existing technologies capable producing many possibilities construction remain be explored. [1]: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/307/5711/860
