Fully quantized theory of four-wave mixing with bosonic matter waves

Ying Wu, Xiaoxue Yang

We solve exactly a set of fully quantized coupled equations that describe the quantum dynamics, including the evolution of quantum fluctuations, entanglements, and correlations, of four-wave mixing (FWM) with matter waves. The analytical solution reveals Rabi oscillations, collapses and revivals, and agrees with FWM experiments. It also applies to optical FWM and the Rayleigh superradiance in Bose-Einstein condensates.

Correlations in Amplified Four-Wave Mixing of Matter Waves

RuGway Wu, Sean S. Hodgman, R. G. Dall +2 more

The coherence properties of amplified matter waves generated by four-wave mixing (FWM) are studied using the Hanbury-Brown-Twiss method. We examine two limits. In the first case stimulated processes lead to the selective excitation of a pair of spatially separated modes, which we show to be second order coherent, while the second occurs when the FWM process is multimode, due to spontaneous scattering events which leads to incoherent matter waves. Amplified FWM is a promising candidate for fundamental tests of quantum mechanics where correlated modes with large occupations are required.
