Atom 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 کاملOptically trapped atom interferometry using the clock transition of large 87Rb Bose–Einstein condensates
We present a Ramsey-type atom interferometer operating with an optically trapped sample of 106 Bose-condensed 87Rb atoms. We investigate this interferometer experimentally and theoretically with an eye to the construction of future high precision atomic sensors. Our results indicate that, with further experimental refinements, it will be possible to produce and measure the output of a sub-shot-...
متن کاملQuantum carpet interferometry for trapped atomic Bose-Einstein condensates
We propose an “interferometric” scheme for Bose-Einstein condensates using near-field diffraction. The scheme is based on the phenomenon of intermode traces or quantum carpets; we show how it may be used in the detection of weak forces. Typeset using REVTEX 1 One of the most important aspects of the study of Bose-Einstein Condensates (BEC’s) in dilute trapped alkali gases has been the developme...
متن کاملAtom interferometry with Bose-Einstein condensates in a double-well potential.
A trapped-atom interferometer was demonstrated using gaseous Bose-Einstein condensates coherently split by deforming an optical single-well potential into a double-well potential. The relative phase between the two condensates was determined from the spatial phase of the matter wave interference pattern formed upon releasing the condensates from the separated potential wells. Coherent phase evo...
متن کاملAtom Interferometry with Mechanical Structures
We present results on an interferometer for atoms based on Young's double-slit experiment. We also discuss proposed experiments in which the effect of spontaneous emission on the visibility of the atomic fringe pattern, as well as the effect of coherent atom-light interactions on the phase of the atomic wavefunction could be measured.
