Gravitational field measurement with an equilibrium ensemble of cold atoms
نویسنده
چکیده
A new approach to the measurement of gravitational fields with an equilibrium ensemble of ultra-cold alkali atoms confined in a cell of volume V is investigated. The proposed model of the gravitational sensor is based on a variation of the density profile of the ensemble due to changing of the gravitational field. For measurement the atomic density variations of the ensemble the electromagnetically induced transparency method is used. PACS number(s): 39.20.+q, 03.75.Dg, 04.80.-y, 32.80.Pj, 42.50.Gy

Precision measurement of gravity with cold atoms in an optical lattice and comparison with a classical gravimeter.
We report on a precision measurement of gravitational acceleration using ultracold strontium atoms confined in an amplitude-modulated vertical optical lattice. An uncertainty Δg/g ≈ 10(-7) is reached by measuring at the 5th harmonic of the Bloch frequency. The value obtained with this microscopic quantum system is consistent with the one measured with a classical gravimeter. Using lattice modul...
متن کاملGravity-sensitive quantum dynamics in cold atoms.
We subject a falling cloud of cold cesium atoms to periodic kicks from a sinusoidal potential created by a vertical standing wave of laser light. By controllably accelerating the potential, we show quantum accelerator mode dynamics to be highly sensitive to the effective gravitational acceleration when close to specific, resonant values. This quantum sensitivity to a control parameter is remini...
متن کاملاستفاده از POD در استخراج ساختارهای متجانس یک میدان آشفته آماری- همگن
Capability of the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) method in extraction of the coherent structures from a spatio-temporal chaotic field is assessed in this paper. As the chaotic field, an ensemble of 40 snapshots, obtained from Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) equation, has been used. Contrary to the usual methods, where the ergodicity of the field is need...
متن کاملAN OPTIMIZED NEURO-FUZZY GROUP METHOD OF DATA HANDLING SYSTEM BASED ON GRAVITATIONAL SEARCH ALGORITHM FOR EVALUATION OF LATERAL GROUND DISPLACEMENTS
During an earthquake, significant damage can result due to instability of the soil in the area affected by internal seismic waves. A liquefaction-induced lateral ground displacement has been a very damaging type of ground failure during past strong earthquakes. In this study, neuro-fuzzy group method of data handling (NF-GMDH) is utilized for assessment of lateral displacement in both ground sl...
متن کاملCold atoms in double-well optical lattices
Cold atoms, loaded into an optical lattice with double-well sites, are considered. Pseudospin representation for an effective Hamiltonian is derived. The system in equilibrium displays two phases, ordered and disordered. The second-order phase transition between the phases can be driven either by temperature or by changing the system parameters. Collective pseudospin excitations have a gap disa...
