Dephasing dynamics of Rydberg atom spin waves
A theory of Rydberg atom interactions is used to derive analytical forms for the spin-wave pair correlation function in laser-excited cold-atom vapors. This function controls the quantum statistics of light emission from dense, inhomogeneous clouds of cold atoms of various spatial dimensionalities. The results yield distinctive scaling behaviors on the microsecond time scale, including generali...
متن کاملIntrinsic dephasing in one-dimensional ultracold atom interferometers.
Quantum-phase fluctuations prevent true long-range phase order from forming in interacting 1D condensates, even at zero temperature. Nevertheless, by dynamically splitting the condensate into two parallel decoupled tubes the system can be prepared with a macroscopic relative phase, facilitating interferometric measurement. Here, we describe a dephasing mechanism whereby the quantum-phase fluctu...
متن کاملTest of the isotopic and velocity selectivity of a lithium atom interferometer by magnetic dephasing
– A magnetic field gradient applied to an atom interferometer induces a M -dependent phase shift which results in a series of decays and revivals of the fringe visibility. Using our lithium atom interferometer based on Bragg laser diffraction, we have measured the fringe visibility as a function of the applied gradient. We have thus tested the isotopic selectivity of the interferometer, the vel...
متن کاملTuning friction atom-by-atom in an ion-crystal simulator
Friction between ordered, atomically smooth surfaces at the nanoscale (nanofriction) is often governed by stick-slip processes. To test long-standing atomistic models of such processes, we implement a synthetic nanofriction interface between a laser-cooled Coulomb crystal of individually addressable ions as the moving object, and a periodic light-field potential as the substrate. We show that s...
