A Two-Atom Picture of Coherent Atom-Molecule Quantum Beats
A simple two-atommodel is shown to describe a Bose-Einstein condensate of alkali atoms subjected to external magnetic field ramps near a Feshbach resonance. The implications uncovered for two atoms in a trap can be applied at least approximately to a many-atom condensate. A connection to observations is accomplished by scaling the trap frequency to achieve a density comparable to that of the ex...
متن کاملCoherent Control of Quantum Entropy via Quantum Interference in a Four-Level Atomic System
The time evaluation of quantum entropy in a four-level double- type atomic system is theoretically investigated. Quantum entanglement of the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed via quantum entropy. It is found that the degree of entanglement can be increased by the quantum interference induced by spontaneous emission. The phase dependence of the atom-field entanglement is...
متن کاملCoherent quantum depletion of an interacting atom condensate
Sufficiently strong interactions promote coherent quantum transitions in spite of thermalization and losses, which are the adversaries of delicate effects such as reversibility and correlations. In atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), strong atom-atom interactions can eject atoms from the BEC to the normal component, yielding quantum depletion instead of temperature depletion. A recent expe...
متن کاملA two-state Raman coupler for coherent atom optics.
We present results on a Raman laser-system that resonantly drives a closed two-photon transition between two levels in different hyperfine ground states of (87)Rb. The coupler is based on a novel optical design for producing two phase-coherent optical beams to drive a Raman transition. Operated as an outcoupler, it produces an atom laser in a single internal atomic state, with the lower diverge...
متن کاملQuantum beats revisited: A quantum jump approach
The term quantum beats refers to a superposed oscillatory behavior in the light intensity emitted by some suddenly excited atomic systems in their subsequent decay. In this paper we reinvestigate quantum beats for systems where two upper levels may decay to a common ground state by using the recently developed approach of quantum jumps. The treatment turns out to be very simple and intuitive. I...
