State selective microwave nearfield potentials on atom chips

Max F. Riedel, Pascal Böhi, Theodor W. Hänsch +1 more

In this work we show how we use on-chip microwave near-fields to generate versatile state-selective potentials and use these potentials for the state-selective coherent manipulation of Bose-Einstein condensates. We entangle atomic spin and motional state in a controlled and reversible way, as required for a quantum phase gate previously proposed.

Coherent manipulation of Bose-Einstein condensates with radio-frequency adiabatic potentials on atom chips

Sebastian Hofferberth

During this thesis a novel trapping and manipulation technique for neutral atoms on atom chips has been developed and experimentally implemented. Radio-frequency (rf) coupling of internal states of magnetically trapped atoms results in versatile microscopic potentials, which overcome various limitations of static magnetic traps. An extensive experimental analysis of this new technique has been carried out, exploring the state-dependency of the rf potentials and the possible realization of non-trivial trapping geometries. Based on these results, the first coherent matter wave beam splitter on an atom chip has been realized, demonstrating for the first time the all-magnetic coherent splitting of a condensate. This new atom optical tool has then been applied to investigate the phase-properties of one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates. The potential configuration developed during this thesis provides direct access to the phase fluctuations in the system and has allowed the first time-resolved study of equilibrium properties and non-equilibrium dynamics in a one-dimensional Bose gas.

Metrology with trapped atoms on a chip using non-degenerate and degenerate quantum gases

Vincent Dugrain, Jakob Reichel

Atom trapping on chip opens new perspectives for time and frequency metrology and integrated atom interferometry. The TACC experiment (Trapped Atomic Clock on a Chip) was built to study the potential of degenerate and non-degenerate quantum gases for metrology and to develop new tools for atom manipulation. One of the aims is the demonstration of a secondary frequency standard with a stability of a few 10-13 at one second. This is the context of this thesis. We report on several metrology experiments carried out with thermal clouds or Bose-Einstein condensates. Firstly, we demonstrate a stability of 5.8 x 10-13 at one second and characterize the limiting technical noise. We then present a study of the coherence of Bose- Einstein condensates and, in particular, the eect of interactions. The data is compared with a numerical model. Secondly, we introduce several tools for producing and manipulating atoms on a chip. We show the realization of an atomic microwave powermeter and assess the current limits of its performance. We then demonstrate that high-gradient microwave elds allow one to coherently manipulate the atoms' external motion. Finally, we present and characterize a new device for high-repetition rate atom loading involving fast modulation of the rubidium pressure.
