Theory of Double-Well Atom Interferometry
Novel theoretical treatments are being developed for double-well atom interferometers (DWAI) that are based on the splitting of a single-well potential into two wells, non-adiabatic phase evolution of quantum states due to an applied spatially-asymmetric potential and then recombination into the original potential well. The non-adiabatic stage involves transitions between the nearly degenerate ...
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 کاملdouble well for atom chip based sensors
We report on the adiabatic splitting of a BEC of Rb atoms by an asymmetric double-well potential located above the edge of a perpendicularly magnetized TbGdFeCo film atom chip. By controlling the barrier height and double-well asymmetry the sensitivity of the axial splitting process is investigated through observation of the fractional atom distribution between the left and right wells. This pr...
متن کاملSingle Atom and Two Atom Ramsey Interferometry with Quantized Fields
Implications of field quantization on Ramsey interferometry are discussed and general conditions for the occurrence of interference are obtained. Interferences do not occur if the fields in two Ramsey zones have precise number of photons. However in this case it is shown how an analog of Hanbury-Brown Twiss photon-photon correlation interferometry can be used to discern a variety of interferenc...
متن کاملDissipative Double-Well Potential: Mesoscopic Atom Number Detection and Cold Atom Dynamics
吀�e ability to manipulate cold atoms has been constantly improved over the past three decades in an endeavour to achieve the best control and the best detection of these particles. Atom-light interaction has proven fundamental for the cooling and trapping of neutral atoms and several detection techniques have been developed, including absorption and fluorescence imaging. Here we present a detec...
