Quantum State Reconstruction of a Bose-Einstein Condensate
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a tomographic scheme to reconstruct the quantum state of a BoseEinstein condensate, exploiting the radiation field as a probe and considering the atomic internal degrees of freedom. The density matrix in the number state basis can be directly retrieved from the atom counting probabilities. PACS numbers: 03.65.Bz, 03.75.Fi, 32.80.-t

Solitons for nearly integrable bright spinor Bose-Einstein condensate
Using the explicit forms of eigenstates for linearized operator related to a matrix version of Nonlinear Schrödinger equation, soliton perturbation theory is developed for the $F=1$ bright spinor Bose-Einstein condensates. A small disturbance of the integrability condition can be considered as a small correction to the integrable equation. By choosing appropriate perturbation, the soli...
متن کاملCharacterisation of the dynamical quantum state of a zero temperature Bose-Einstein condensate
We describe the quantum state of a Bose-Einstein condensate at zero temperature. By evaluating the Q-function we show that the ground state of Bose-Einstein condensate under the Hartree approximation is squeezed. We find that multimode Schrödinger cat states are generated as the condensate evolves in a ballistic expansion.

A Bose-Einstein condensate can be well described by an order parameter called condensate wavefunction. If Bose-Einstein condensation occurs in a superposed single particle state, the condensate wavefunction is correspondingly superposed. Likewise, if two coupled distinguishable or non-overlapping Bose systems condense in an entangled single particle pair state, the condensate wavefunction is co...
متن کاملWeak force detection using a double Bose-Einstein condensate
A Bose-Einstein condensate may be used to make precise measurements of weak forces, utilizing the macroscopic occupation of a single quantum state. We present a scheme which uses a condensate in a double well potential to do this. The required initial state of the condensate is discussed, and the limitations on the sensitivity due to atom collisions and external coupling are analyzed. Typeset u...
متن کاملPair-correlation in Bose-Einstein Condensate and Fermi Superfluid of Atomic Gases
We describe pair-correlation inherent in the structure of many-particle ground state of quantum gases, namely, Bose Einstein condensate and Cooper-paired Fermi superfluid of atomic gases. We make a comparative study on the pair-correlation properties of these two systems. We discuss how to probe this pair-correlation by stimulated light scattering. This intrinsic pair-correlation may serve as a...
