Phase dynamics and Bose–broken symmetry in atomic Bose–Einstein condensates

Collisions lead to the collapse and revival of the interference fringes between two atomic Bose–Einstein condensates. We study the collapses and revivals of the relative phase between the condensates for two different initial states. One state invokes Bose–broken symmetry allowing us to write the wavefunction as a superposition of total number (of both condensates) states whereas the other does not.

Collapses and revivals in the interference between two Bose-Einstein condensates formed in small atomic samples

Ewan M. Wright, Thomas G. Wong, Matthew J. Collett +2 more

We investigate the quantum interference between two Bose-Einstein condensates formed in small atomic samples composed of a few thousand atoms both by imposing Bose broken gauge symmetry from the outset and also using an explicit model of atomic detection. In the former case we show that the macroscopic wave function collapses and revives in time, and we calculate the characteristic times for current experiments. Collapses and revivals are also predicted in the interference between two Bose-Einstein condensates which are initially in Fock states, a relative phase between the condensates being established via atomic detections corresponding to uncertainty in the number difference between them.

Quantum dynamics of an impurity-doped Bose–Einstein condensate system

Yu Han, Li Zhen, Le‐Man Kuang

Abstract We study the quantum dynamics of an impurity-doped Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) system. We show how to generate the macroscopic quantum superposition states (MQSSs) of the BEC by the use of projective measurements on impurity atoms. It is found that the nonclassicality of MQSSs can be manipulated by changing the number of the impurities and their interaction with the BEC. It is shown that the BEC matter-wave field exhibits a collapse and revival phenomenon which reveals the quantum nature of the BEC matter-wave field. We investigate the micro-macro entanglement between the impurities and the BEC, and find enhancement of the micro-macro entanglement induced by the initial quantum coherence of the impurity atoms.
