Two-atom interferometer
نویسندگان
چکیده
This Letter presents a nonclassical mechanism of two-atom interferometry. The interferometer introduces two different yet indistinguishable alternatives for randomly paired atoms to create joint atom-detection event. superposition amplitudes yields interference with peculiar features which outshine the classic atom interferometer: (1) is still observable when time delay greater than coherence beam and (2) may eliminate phase noises, including background, variation, turbulence, Raman laser induced thereby allowing higher sensitivity stability sensing achievable by interferometers. These are crucial in high sensitivity-accuracy acceleration rotation measurements. presented concept can be adapted other matter-wave interferometers, such as two-neutron two-electron interferometer.

Analysis of atom-interferometer clocks
We analyze the nature and performance of clocks formed by stabilizing an oscillator to the phase difference between two paths of an atom interferometer. The phase evolution has been modeled as being driven by the proper-time difference between the two paths, although it has an ambiguous origin in the nonrelativistic limit and it requires a full quantum-field-theory treatment in the general case...
متن کاملTwo-wavelength holographic interferometer.
In optical testing, when the wave-front error of a test optic is much larger than the wavelength of visible light, it may be difficult to analyze the closely spaced interference fringes in the interferogram. The use of a less-sensitive testing technique or a long-wavelength interferometer would be preferred for this purpose. In addition, when the optic is to be tested in transmission, the wavel...
متن کاملMeasurement of Berry’s phase using an atom interferometer
We report on the demonstration of Berry’s phase in an atomic state interacting with a laser field. We draw an analogy between this system and that of a spin interacting with a directionally varying magnetic field. This allows us to identify an effective magnetic quantum number for the atom-light system that governs the maximum Berry phase the atomic state can acquire. We realize two systems tha...
متن کاملAn atom interferometer inside a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber
Coherent interactions between electromagnetic and matter waves lie at the heart of quantum science and technology. However, the diffraction nature of light has limited the scalability of many atom-light-based quantum systems. We use the optical fields in a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber to spatially split, reflect, and recombine a coherent superposition state of free-falling 85Rb atoms to r...
متن کاملAn On-Chip Atom Interferometer Using a Bose-Einstein Condensate
Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. This work reports the first demonstration of an on-chip atom Michelson inter-ferometer employing a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). An intra-waveguide optical standing wave serves to spl...
