  Remote control of experimental systems allows for improved collaboration
between research groups as well as unique remote educational opportunities
accessible by students and citizen scientists. Here, we describe an experiment
for the production and investigation of ultracold quantum gases capable of
asynchronous remote control by multiple remote users. This is enabled by a
queuing system coupled to an interface that can be modified to suit the user,
e.g. a gamified interface for use by the general public or a scripted interface
for an expert. To demonstrate this, the laboratory was opened to remote experts
and the general public. During the available time, remote users were given the
task of optimising the production of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). This
work thus provides a stepping stone towards the exploration and realisation of
more advanced physical models by remote experts, students and citizen
scientists alike.
