Collective enhancement and suppression in Bose-Einstein condensates

Wolfgang Ketterle

The coherent and collective nature of Bose-Einstein condensate can enhance or suppress physical processes. Bosonic stimulation enhances scattering in already occupied states which leads to atom amplification, and the suppression of dissipation leads to superfluidity. In this paper, we review several experiments where suppression and enhancement have been observed and discuss the common roots of and differences between these phenomena.

Collective enhancement and suppression in dilute Bose-Einstein condensates

Wolfgang Ketterle, S. Inouye

The coherent and collective nature of a Bose-Einstein condensate can enhance or suppress physical processes. Bosonic stimulation enhances scattering in already occupied states which leads to matter wave amplification, and the suppression of dissipation leads to superfluidity. In this summer school notes we present several experiments where enhancement and suppression have been observed and discuss the common roots of and differences between these phenomena.

Ultrafast coherent control of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates using stimulated Raman adiabatic passage

Andreas M. D. Thomasen, T. Mukai, Tim Byrnes

We propose the use of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage to offer a fast high fidelity method of performing SU(2) rotations on spinor Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). Past demonstrations of BECs optical control suffer from difficulties arising from collective enhancement of spontaneous emission and inefficient two-photon transitions originating from selection rules. We present here a scheme which allows for arbitrary coherent rotations of two-component BECs while overcoming these issues. Numerical tests of the method show that for BECs of $^{87}\mathrm{Rb}$ with up to ${10}^{4}$ atoms and gate times of $1\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{s}$, decoherence due to spontaneous emission can be suppressed to negligible values.
