    Abstract

    A method of using feedback to control an atom laser was discussed. The feedback scheme required to control a Bose-Einstein condensates in an arbitrary potential was examined. It was found that for any available control, there is an associated moment of the atomic density and feedback scheme that will remove energy from the system while there are oscillations in that moment. It was also found that the formalism of the feedback scheme allows the inclusion of certain types of nonlinear controls.
