Superfluid quantum interference in multiple-turn reciprocal geometry.

چکیده
We report the observation of superfluid quantum interference in a compact, large-area matter-wave interferometer consisting of a multiple-turn interfering path in reciprocal geometry. Utilizing the Sagnac effect from Earth's rotation in conjunction with a phase shifter made of superfluid heat current, we demonstrate that such a scheme can be extended for sensitive rotation sensing as well as for general interferometry.

Superfluid 4He quantum interference grating.
We report the first observation of quantum interference from a grating structure consisting of four weak link junctions in superfluid 4He. We find that an interference grating can be implemented successfully in a superfluid matter wave interferometer to enhance its sensitivity while trading away some of its dynamic range. We also show that this type of device can be used to measure absolute qua...
متن کاملOptical superfluid phase transitions and trapping of polariton condensates.
Semiconductor microcavities are used to support freely flowing polariton quantum liquids allowing the direct observation and optical manipulation of macroscopic quantum states. Incoherent optical excitation at a point produces radially expanding condensate clouds within the planar geometry. By using arbitrary configurations of multiple pump spots, we discover a geometrically controlled phase tr...
متن کاملSuperfluid helium quantum interference devices: present status and future prospects
The development of superfluid weak links has led both to the discovery of new physical phenomena and also to the development of superfluid helium quantum interference devices (SHeQUIDs). We describe the physics underlying the SHeQUID and present a brief overview of the current state of this promising technology. Superfluid 4He and 3He are described by the Landau two fluid model [1] augmented by...
