Abstract

This chapter serves as an introduction to the experimental setup. It discusses the tools and techniques developed to create and probe the 1d Bose gases described in Chap. 2. First, Sect. 3.1 reviews basic experimental techniques until Sect. 3.2 describes the experimental setup and cycle. Both of these discussion are kept brief as there exists a vast body of literature and theses on these topics.
