Emergence of spatial spin-wave correlations in a cold atomic gas.
Rydberg spin-waves are optically excited in a quasi-one-dimensional atomic sample of Rb atoms. Pairwise spin-wave correlations are observed by a spatially selective transfer of the quantum state onto a light field and photoelectric correlation measurements of the light. The correlations are interpreted in terms of the dephasing of multiply excited spin-waves by long-range Rydberg interactions.
متن کاملCold Atomic Gas in the Milky Way
In this review, I consider a number of basic questions about cold Galactic H i: What are the physical properties of the cold atomic phase, and how are they maintained? How much mass is there in the cold H i and in the other phases in the disk? Are the true populations of H2, cold H i, and warm H i distinctly separated from each other in temperature-density space, or do some phase properties ove...
متن کاملElectron correlations in multiconfiguration atomic wave functions.
A two-electron spin-independent operator is defined to represent the spatial correlation of the electrons in a general atom or ion. The spherical-tensor expansion of this operator provides a systematic method for evaluating the two-electron correlation function implied by a Hartree-Fock N-electron wave function including arbitrary configuration mixing. The method is illustrated by examples invo...
متن کاملStrong quantum spin correlations observed in atomic spin mixing.
We have observed sub-Poissonian spin correlations generated by collisionally induced spin mixing in a spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate. We measure a quantum noise reduction of -7 dB (-10 dB corrected for detection noise) below the standard quantum limit for the corresponding coherent spin states. The spin fluctuations are detected as atom number differences in the spin states using fluorescent i...
متن کاملSPATIAL CORRELATIONS IN SPIN-POLARIZED 3He LIQUID
Variational Fermi HNC calculations are performed for spin-polarized 3 ~ e liquid at zero temperature. The trial wave function is optimized by solving an Euler-Lagrange equation in the Fermi HNC approximation. Results for liquid structure function and one-particle momentum distribution are compared with the corresponding quantities of the spin-saturated liquid. In this report we present results ...
