A matter-wave Rarity–Tapster interferometer to demonstrate non-locality
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an experimentally viable approach to demonstrating quantum non-locality in a matter wave system via Rarity-Tapster interferometer using two $s$-wave scattering halos generated by colliding helium Bose-Einstein condensates. The theoretical basis for this method is discussed, and its suitability quantified. As proof of concept, we demonstrate interferometric visibility $V=0.42(9)$, corresponding maximum CSHS-Bell parameter $S=1.1(1)$, the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) version Bell inequality, between atoms separated $\sim 4$ correlation lengths. This constitutes significant step towards demonstration inequality violation motional degrees freedom massive particles possible measurements effects gravitationally sensitive system.

Disorder Makes a Robust Matter-Wave Interferometer
When a coherent wave scatters from a disordered medium, it creates a random interference pattern known as “speckle.” We can easily observe speckle patterns in reflections of a laser pointer from a rough wall, for example. They are, however, completely washed out upon averaging over an ensemble of different arrangements of scattering objects. Coherent backscattering (CBS) is a unique interferenc...
متن کاملMatter-wave interferometer for large molecules.
We demonstrate a near-field Talbot-Lau interferometer for C70 fullerene molecules. Such interferometers are particularly suitable for larger masses. Using three free-standing gold gratings of 1 microm period and a transversally incoherent but velocity-selected molecular beam, we achieve an interference fringe visibility of 40% with high count rate. Both the high visibility and its velocity depe...
متن کاملNonlinearity-assisted quantum tunnelling in a matter-wave interferometer
We investigate the nonlinearity-assisted quantum tunnelling and formation of nonlinear collective excitations in a matter-wave interferometer, which is realized by the adiabatic transformation of a double-well potential into a singlewell harmonic trap. In contrast to the linear quantum tunnelling induced by the crossing (or avoided crossing) of neighbouring energy levels, the quantum tunnelling...

متن کاملQuantum tunneling in a nonlinear matter wave interferometer
Intrinsic interparticle interactions in atomic condensates lead to an interplay between dispersion and nonlinearity of matter waves, which supports a number of nontrivial collective excitations, including dark solitons in condensates with repulsive interactions. The recent experiments have demonstrated that such nonlinear excitations play an important role in atomic interferometers [1] based on...
