Quantum correlations induced by multiple scattering of quadrature squeezed light.
Propagating quadrature squeezed light through a multiple scattering random medium is found to induce pronounced spatial quantum correlations that have no classical analogue. The correlations are revealed in the number of photons transported through the sample that can be measured from the intensity fluctuations of the total transmission or reflection. In contrast, no pronounced spatial quantum ...
متن کاملLight propagation beyond the mean-field theory of standard optics.
With ready access to massive computer clusters we may now study light propagation in a dense cold atomic gas by means of basically exact numerical simulations. We report on a direct comparison between traditional optics, that is, electrodynamics of a polarizable medium, and numerical simulations in an elementary problem of light propagating through a slab of matter. The standard optics fails al...
متن کاملMeasurement and cancellation of the cold collision frequency shift in an 87Rb fountain clock
We measure a cold collision frequency shift in an 87Rb fountain clock that is fractionally 30 times smaller than that for Cs. The shift is -0.38(8) mHz for a density of 1.0(6)x10(9) cm(-3). We study the cavity pulling of the atomic transition and use it to cancel the cold collision shift. We also measure the partial frequency shifts of each clock state finding 2(lambda(10)-lambda(20))/(lambda(1...
متن کاملQuantum Degeneracy in an Atomic Fermi-Fermi-Bose Mixture
This thesis deals with dilute fermionic and bosonic quantum gases in the nK temperature regime. In the work presented here, the first quantum-degenerate mixture of two different fermionic atomic species and the first triple-degenerate Fermi-Fermi-Bose mixture were produced. The quantum-degenerate mixtures were realized using sympathetic cooling of the fermionic species 6Li and 40K by an evapora...
متن کاملSe p 20 06 The atomic Bose gas in Flatland
We describe a recent experiment performed with rubidium atoms (87Rb), aiming at studying the coherence properties of a two-dimensional gas of bosonic particles at low temperature. We have observed in particular a Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless (BKT) type crossover in the system, using a matter wave heterodyning technique. At low temperatures, the gas is quasi-coherent on the length scale set b...
