Abstract

Mean-field induced self-rephasing and the synchronized application of spin echo allow us to preserve coherence of an interacting Bose-Einstein condensate for a long time (> 4 s) in a trapped Ramsey interferometer on an atom chip.

Long-lived periodic revivals of coherence in an interacting Bose-Einstein condensate

We observe the coherence of an interacting two-component Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) surviving for seconds in a trapped Ramsey interferometer. Mean-field-driven collective oscillations of two components lead to periodic dephasing and rephasing of condensate wave functions with a slow decay of the interference fringe visibility. We apply spin echo synchronous with the self-rephasing of the condensate to reduce the influence of state-dependent atom losses, significantly enhancing the visibility up to $0.75$ at the evolution time of $1.5$ s. Mean-field theory consistently predicts higher visibility than experimentally observed values. We quantify the effects of classical and quantum noise and infer a coherence time of $2.8$ s for a trapped condensate of $5.5\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{4}$ interacting atoms.

Spin self-rephasing and very long coherence times in trapped atomic ensembles

P. Rosenbusch

We perform Ramsey spectroscopy on the ground state of ultra-cold 87Rb atoms magnetically trapped on a chip in the Knudsen regime. Field inhomogeneities over the sample should limit the 1/e contrast decay time to about 3 s, while decay times of 58 ± 12 s are actually observed. We explain this surprising result by a spin self-rephasing mechanism induced by the identical spin rotation effect originating from the exchange interaction. We propose a theory of this synchronization mechanism and obtain good agreement with the experimental observations. The effect is general and may appear in other physical systems.
