Atom-atom correlations in colliding Bose-Einstein condensates
We analyze atom-atom correlations in the s-wave scattering halo of two colliding condensates. By developing a simple perturbative approach, we obtain explicit analytic results for the collinear CL and back-toback BB correlations corresponding to realistic density profiles of the colliding condensates with interactions. The results in the short-time limit are in agreement with the first-principl...
متن کاملObservation of atom pairs in spontaneous four-wave mixing of two colliding Bose-Einstein condensates.
We study atom scattering from two colliding Bose-Einstein condensates using a position sensitive, time resolved, single atom detector. In analogy to quantum optics, the process can also be thought of as spontaneous, degenerate four-wave mixing of de Broglie waves. We find a clear correlation between atoms with opposite momenta, demonstrating pair production in the scattering process. We also ob...
متن کاملAtom interferometry with trapped Bose–Einstein condensates: impact of atom–atom interactions
Interferometry with ultracold atoms promises the possibility of ultraprecise and ultrasensitive measurements in many fields of physics, and is the basis of our most precise atomic clocks. Key to a high sensitivity is the possibility to achieve long measurement times and precise readout. Ultracold atoms can be precisely manipulated at the quantum level and can be held for very long times in trap...

متن کاملAtomic optics, Bose-Einstein condensates and atom lasers
In 1992, with the backing of CNRS, Alain Aspect founded the atomic optics group at the Institut d’Optique at Orsay, with Nathalie Westbrook and Robin Kaiser, and later Christoph Westbrook. Atomic optics is a new field of research which aims to use the forces exerted by lasers on atoms to control their paths, in the same way as traditional optics controls light rays with mirrors and lenses. From...
