The condensate is produced a few micrometer above a dielectric surface on an evanescent-wave atom mirror. After evaporative cooling by all-optical means, expansion measurements for the tightly confined vertical motion show energies well below the vibrational energy quantum. The presence of a condensate is observed in two independent ways by a magnetically induced collapse at negative scattering length and by measurements of the horizontal expansion.Soft Condensed MatterTwo-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical surface traptext
