Abstract: We present the first experimental realization of a two-dimensional quantum gas in a purely magnetic trap dressed by a radio frequency field in the presence of gravity.The resulting potential is extremely smooth and very close to harmonic in the two-dimensional plane of confinement.We fully characterize the trap and demonstrate the confinement of a quantum gas to two dimensions.The trap geometry can be modified to a large extent, in particular in a dynamical way.Taking advantage of this possibility, we study the monopole and the quadrupole modes of a two-dimensional Bose gas.
