Approximate master equations for atom optics

Interaction representation method for Markov master equations in quantum optics

Conditions sufficient for a quantum dynamical semigroup (QDS) to be unital are proved for a class of problems in quantum optics with Hamiltonians which are self-adjoint polynomials of any finite order in creation and annihilation operators. The order of the Hamiltonian may be higher than the order of completely positive part of the formal generator of a QDS. The unital property of a minimal qua...

Combined chips for atom optics

We present experiments with Bose-Einstein condensates on a combined atom chip. The combined structure consists of a large-scale “carrier chip” and smaller “atom-optics chips,” containing micron-sized elements. This allows us to work with condensates very close to chip surfaces without suffering from fragmentation or losses due to thermally driven spin flips. Precise three-dimensional positionin...

Guided atom laser : a new tool for guided atom optics

We present a guided atom laser. A Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is created in a crossed hybrid magnetic and an elongated optical trap, which acts as a matterwave guide. Atoms are extracted from the BEC by radio frequency (rf) outcoupling and then guided in the horizontal optical matterwave guide. This method allows to control the acceleration of the beam and to achieve large de Broglie wavelen...

Analytical-Approximate Solution for Nonlinear Volterra Integro-Differential Equations

In this work, we conduct a comparative study among the combine Laplace transform and modied Adomian decomposition method (LMADM) and two traditional methods for an analytic and approximate treatment of special type of nonlinear Volterra integro-differential equations of the second kind. The nonlinear part of integro-differential is approximated by Adomian polynomials, and the equation is reduce...
