the programmed field value and its actual value measured by Zeeman spectroscopy. We
have identified two reasons for the deviations: (i) due to the limited bandwidth of the
active current stabilization, the PI controller may introduce delays and oscillations in the
Feshbach current when its set-point is suddenly changed and (ii) eddy currents in the
metallic vacuum chamber yield an additional delay of the real magnetic field with respect
to the programmed value. We have experimentally addressed both issues, with the results
shown in Fig. A.2.

rent running through the Feshbach coils (red dots), measured by a transducer,
and programmed value of the current (dashed blue line), both in normalized
units. (a) We observe strong oscillations in the measured current after a sudden
change in the programmed value. (b) The oscillations are reduced when using
a linear ramp and (c) are almost suppressed when using the s-shaped ramp
given by Eq.
