Quantum Effects in Matter-Wave Diffraction
Advances in micro-technology of the last years have made it possible to carry optics textbooks experiments over to atomic and molecular beams, such as diffraction by a double slit or transmission grating. The usual wave-optical approach gives a good qualitative description of these experiments. However, small deviations therefrom and sophisticated quantum mechanics yield new surprising insights...
متن کاملChaotic principle: an experimental test
The chaotic hypothesis discussed in [GC1] is tested experimentally in a simple conduction model. Besides a confirmation of the hypothesis predictions the results suggest the validity of the hypothesis in the much wider context in which, as the forcing strength grows, the attractor ceases to be an Anosov system and becomes an Axiom A attractor. A first test of the new predictions is also attempted.
متن کاملExperimental test of the Pauli Exclusion Principle
A short review is given of three experimental works on tests of the Pauli Exclusion Principle (PEP) in which the author has been involved during the last 10 years. In the first work a search for anomalous carbon atoms was done and a limit on the existence of such atoms was determined, C̃/C< 2.5×10. In the second work PEP was tested with the NEMO-2 detector and the limits on the violation of PEP ...
متن کاملMatter - wave diffraction in time with a linear potential
Diffraction in time of matter waves incident on a shutter which is removed at time t = 0 is studied in the presence of a linear potential. The solution is also discussed in phase space in terms of the Wigner function. An alternative configuration relevant to current experiments where particles are released from a hard wall trap is also analyzed for single-particle states and for a Tonks-Girarde...
متن کاملExperimental observation of oscillating and interacting matter wave dark solitons.
We report on the generation, subsequent oscillation and interaction of a pair of matter-wave dark solitons. These are created by releasing a Bose-Einstein condensate from a double well potential into a harmonic trap in the crossover regime between one dimension and three dimensions. Multiple oscillations and collisions of the solitons are observed, in quantitative agreement with simulations of ...
