Production of Multiple Rb Condensates and Atom Lasers by Rf Coupling
One of the major goals in the study of Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) in dilute atomic gases has been the realization and development of atom lasers. An atom laser may be understood as a source of coherent matter waves. One can extract coherent matter waves from a magnetically trapped Bose condensate. Schemes to couple the atomic beam out of the magnetic trap have been demonstrated [1, 2, 3, ...
متن کاملQuantum Coherent Atomic Tunneling between Two Trapped Bose-einstein Condensates
We study the coherent atomic tunneling between two zero-temperature BoseEinstein condensates (BEC) confined in a double-well magnetic trap. Two Gross-Pitaevskii equations for the self-interacting BEC amplitudes, coupled by a transfer matrix element, describe the dynamics in terms of the inter-well phase-difference and population imbalance. In addition to the anharmonic generalization of the fam...
متن کاملDiscrete solitons and breathers with dilute Bose-Einstein condensates.
We study the dynamical phase diagram of a dilute Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) trapped in a periodic potential. The dynamics is governed by a discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation: intrinsically localized excitations, including discrete solitons and breathers, can be created even if the BEC's interatomic potential is repulsive. Furthermore, we analyze the Anderson-Kasevich experiment [Scienc...
متن کاملAtom interferometry with Bose-Einstein condensates in a double-well potential.
A trapped-atom interferometer was demonstrated using gaseous Bose-Einstein condensates coherently split by deforming an optical single-well potential into a double-well potential. The relative phase between the two condensates was determined from the spatial phase of the matter wave interference pattern formed upon releasing the condensates from the separated potential wells. Coherent phase evo...
متن کاملLight scattering to determine the relative phase of two Bose-Einstein condensates.
We demonstrated an experimental technique based on stimulated light scattering to continuously sample the relative phase of two spatially separated Bose-Einstein condensates of atoms. The phase measurement process created a relative phase between two condensates with no initial phase relation, read out the phase, and monitored the phase evolution. This technique was used to realize interferomet...
