Published Jun 12, 2009• 12 citations

Abstract

We show that an electrostatic qubit located near a Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a symmetric double-well potential can be used to measure the duration the qubit has spent in one of its quantum states. The strong, medium, and weak measurement regimes are analyzed. The analogy between the residence and the traversal (tunnelling) times is highlighted.

Unusual decoherence in qubit measurements with a Bose-Einstein condensate

D. Sokolovski, S. A. Gurvitz

We consider an electrostatic qubit located near a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of noninteracting bosons in a double-well potential, which is used for qubit measurements. Tracing out the BEC variables we obtain a simple analytical expression for the qubit's density matrix. The qubit's evolution exhibits a slow $(\ensuremath{\propto}1/\sqrt{t})$ damping of the qubit's coherence term, which however turns to be a Gaussian one in the case of static qubit. This is in contrast to the exponential damping produced by most classical detectors. The decoherence is, in general, incomplete and strongly depends on the initial state of the qubit.

Tunneling Dynamics of a Bose-Einstein Condensate

Shreyas Potnis

The simplicity and versatility of ultra-cold atoms make it an ideal system for studying Quantum Mechanical phenomenon like tunneling. This thesis describes progress towards experimentally measuring the time spent by a tunneling particle in the classically forbidden region. A detailed analysis of the experimental requirements to measure the tunneling time is presented along with the experimental tools developed to meet these requirements. These include a thin \SI{1.3}{\micro m} optical tunnel barrier, a smooth atomic waveguide, and a Larmor clock to measure the tunneling time. Delta-kick cooling is used to achieve the extremely low temperatures required for the tunneling time experiments. A 2.4x reduction in the atomic velocity spread is demonstrated, reducing the rms velocity spread to \SI{0.46(5)}{mm/s}. This corresponds to cooling to an effective temperature of \SI{2.0(4)}{nK}. The thin optical barrier opens up the possibility to study the decay of quasi-bound condensates via tunneling. We develop a novel trapping configuration for this purpose, in which the barrier acts as one of the walls of the trap. Inter-atomic interactions strongly dictate the escape dynamics of the condensate out of this trap, giving rise to three distinct regimes--- classical over the barrier spilling, quantum tunneling driven by interactions, and decay dominated by background losses. We show that in the tunneling regime, the decay rate depends exponentially with the chemical potential of the condensate. Experimental results show good agreement with numerical solutions of the 3D Gross-Pitaevskii equation.

Coherent control of mesoscopic tunneling in a Bose-Einstein condensate

Christoph Weiß, Tharanga Jinasundera

For a weakly interacting Bose-Einstein condensate in a double well, an appropriate time-dependent modulation of the trapping potential counteracts the ``self-trapping'' effects of the interactions, thereby allowing tunneling between the wells. It is demonstrated numerically that this modulation can be employed for transferring the condensate from one well to the other in a controlled way. Moreover it allows the production of mesoscopic entangled states on short time scales.

Decoherence of a quantum harmonic oscillator monitored by a Bose-Einstein condensate

S. Brouard, Daniel Alonso, D. Sokolovski

We investigate the dynamics of a quantum oscillator, whose evolution is monitored by a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) trapped in a symmetric double-well potential. It is demonstrated that the oscillator may experience various degrees of decoherence depending on the variable being measured and the state in which the BEC is prepared. These range from a ``coherent'' regime in which only the variances of the oscillator position and momentum are affected by measurement, to a slow (power-law) or rapid (Gaussian) decoherence of the mean values themselves.

Quantum decoherence of an anharmonic oscillator monitored by a Bose-Einstein condensate

Daniel Alonso, S. Brouard, D. Sokolovski

The dynamics of a quantum anharmonic oscillator whose position is monitored by a Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a symmetric double well potential is studied. The (nonexponential) decoherence induced on the oscillator by the measuring device is analyzed. A detailed quasiclassical and quantum analysis is presented. In the first case, for an arbitrary initial coherent state, two different decoherence regimes are observed: an initial Gaussian decay followed by a power law decay for longer times. The characteristic time scales of both regimes are reported. Analytical approximated expressions are obtained in the full quantum case where algebraic time decay of decoherence is observed.

Tunnelling Time of a Bose-Einstein condensate

Jesus Ramon Ramos Benitez

Tunnelling is one of the phenomena at the heart of quantum mechanics. Despite its central role in physics, the duration of the tunnelling process has been debated since the development of quantum theory without a definite answer. In this thesis, the question of how long a particle takes to tunnel is investigated experimentally using ultracold atoms. These systems provide an ideal platform to address this question due to their isolation from the external environment and the ability to create almost arbitrary potentials for the atoms. As the tunnelling time experiment requires low temperatures, the realization and characterization of wave packets below the nanokelvin regime are studied first. A 16x reduction of the effective temperature of the atoms is obtained through delta-kick cooling. However, the achieved temperatures are so low that a new method, dubbed the “knife-edge technique”, is developed to characterize the final atomic state accurately. Through this new method, a final temperature of 900 ± 200 pK is found. Finally, the tunnelling time is investigated using a Bose-Einstein condensate in a one dimensional waveguide intersected by a 1.3 μm barrier. As the atoms tunnel through the thin potential, their spins time the tunnelling event through the Larmor precession induced by a pseudo-magnetic field localized inside the barrier. The precession angle is found by performing tomography on the spin state of the tunnelling atoms. With the knowledge of the Larmor frequency and the rotation angles, we find a tunnelling time of 0.65(7) ms. This experiment achieves a long-sought tunnelling time measurement with a clear interpretation, and its results show good quantitative agreement with theory based on the weak measurement formalism.
