Interference of Atomic Bose–Einstein Condensate Interacting with Laser Field

Abstract

Interference of an atomic Bose–Einstein condensate interacting with a laser field in a double-well potential with dissipation is investigated. If properly selecting the laser field and the initial states of the atoms in the two wells, we find that the intensity exhibits revivals and collapses. The fidelity of interference is affected by the total number of atoms in the two wells and dissipation.

Interference between the halves of a double-well trap containing a Bose-Einstein condensate

Zhao-Xian Yu, Zhi-Yong Jiao

Interference between the halves of a double-well trap containing a Bose-Einstein condensate is studied. It is found that when the atoms in the two wells are initially in the coherent state, the intensity exhibits collapses and revivals, but it does not for the initial Fock states. Whether the initial states are in the coherent states or in a Fock state, the fidelity time has nothing to do with collision. We point out that interference and its fidelity can be adjusted experimentally by properly preparing the number and initial states of the system.

Dynamics of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensation interacting with a laser field in a double-well potential

Haijun Wang, Yi Xue-Xi, Xinwu Ba

For the case of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate formed in a symmetrical double-well potential with well-separated minima, the dynamics of Bose-condensed atoms interacting with a single-mode quantized traveling-wave laser field are investigated in detail. By considering the system consisting of the Bose-condensed atoms and laser field with and without dissipation, the eigenstates and eigenvalues of the corresponding Hamiltonian for both cases are obtained. The time development of the Bose-condensed state plays a major role in the discussion. It is shown that the probability of finding all atoms in the Bose-condensed state displays an undamped oscillatory behavior in the absence of dissipation and a damped oscillatory behavior in the presence of dissipation. Moreover, it is found that the tunneling effect can increase the oscillatory frequency among the dressed bosonic states and affect the dynamics of the system. As an application of these results, a characteristic time that may be used to evaluate the number of condensed atoms is introduced.

Fidelity of Interference Between Two Bose-Einstein Condensates with Collision and Dissipation

Zhao-Xian Yu, Jiao Zhi-Yong

Interference between the two Bose–Einstein condensates with collision and dissipation is investigated. It is found that when the two condensates are initially in the coherent state, the interference intensity is affected by the collision and dissipation, but for the initial Fock state, it is only related to the dissipation. Whether the initial state is in the coherent state or in a Fock state, the fidelity time has nothing to do with collision. For the initial coherent state, the fidelity loss rate is zero, but for the initial Fock state, it is determined by the initial particle number of the two condensates and dissipation.

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

Daniel F. Walls, Matthew J. Collett, T. Wong +2 more

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.
