Decoherence and dephasing in strongly driven colliding Bose-Einstein condensates

Nadav Y. Katz, Roee Ozeri, Eitan E. Rowen +2 more

We report on a series of measurements of decoherence and wave-packet dephasing between two colliding, strongly coupled, identical Bose-Einstein condensates. We measure, in the strong-excitation regime, a suppression of the mean-field shift, compared to the shift which is observed for a weak excitation. This suppression is explained by applying the Gross-Pitaevskii energy functional. By selectively counting only the nondecohered fraction in a time-of-flight image we observe oscillations for which both inhomogeneous and Doppler broadening are strongly suppressed. If no post-selection is used, the decoherence rate due to collisions can be extracted and is in agreement with the local density average calculated rate.

Reduced optical shielding of collisional loss for laser-cooled atoms

Y. B. Band, Inbal Tuvi

Collisional loss rates of ultracold atoms in a laser trap (formed by red-detuned laser beams) can be suppressed by using a sufficiently intense blue-detuned optical shielding laser to repel the atoms before they collide. We present calculations that reveal an additional mechanism for collisional loss in the presence of a blue-detuned laser that reduces optical shielding as the blue-detuned laser intensity increases, and even causes enhancement of collisional loss effects with increased blue-detuned intensity. This mechanism can strongly affect the saturation of the optical shielding.
