Disorder Makes a Robust Matter-Wave Interferometer
When a coherent wave scatters from a disordered medium, it creates a random interference pattern known as “speckle.” We can easily observe speckle patterns in reflections of a laser pointer from a rough wall, for example. They are, however, completely washed out upon averaging over an ensemble of different arrangements of scattering objects. Coherent backscattering (CBS) is a unique interferenc...
متن کاملNonequilibrium wetting transitions with short range forces.
We analyze within mean-field theory as well as numerically a Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation that describes nonequilibrium wetting. Both complete and critical wettitng transitions were found and characterized in detail. For one-dimensional substrates the critical weting temperature is depressed by fluctuations. In addition, we have investigated a region in the space of parameters (temperature and ...
متن کاملMatter-wave interferometer for large molecules.
We demonstrate a near-field Talbot-Lau interferometer for C70 fullerene molecules. Such interferometers are particularly suitable for larger masses. Using three free-standing gold gratings of 1 microm period and a transversally incoherent but velocity-selected molecular beam, we achieve an interference fringe visibility of 40% with high count rate. Both the high visibility and its velocity depe...
متن کاملNonlinearity-assisted quantum tunnelling in a matter-wave interferometer
We investigate the nonlinearity-assisted quantum tunnelling and formation of nonlinear collective excitations in a matter-wave interferometer, which is realized by the adiabatic transformation of a double-well potential into a singlewell harmonic trap. In contrast to the linear quantum tunnelling induced by the crossing (or avoided crossing) of neighbouring energy levels, the quantum tunnelling...
