Book excerpt: Abstract: An atom interferometer is a sensitive device that has potential for many useful applications. Atoms are sensitive to electromagnetic fields due to their electric and magnetic moments and their mass allows them to be deflected in a gravitational field, thereby making them attractive for measuring inertial forces. The narrow momentum distribution of Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is a great asset in realizing portable atom interferometers. An example is a guided-wave atom interferometer that uses a confining potential to guide the motion of the condensate. Despite the promise of guided-wave atom interferometry with BEC, spatial phase and phase diffusion limit the contrast of the interference fringes. The control of these phases is required for successful development of a BEC-based guided-wave atom interferometer. This thesis analyses the guided-wave atom interferometer, where an atomic BEC cloud at the center of a confining potential is split into two clouds that move along different arms of the interferometer. The clouds accumulate relative phase due to the environment, spatially inhomogeneous trapping potential and atom-atom interactions within the condensate. At the end of the interferometric cycle, the clouds are recombined producing a cloud at rest and moving clouds. The number of atoms in the clouds that emerge depends on the relative phase accumulated by the clouds during propagation. This is investigated by deriving an expression for the probability of finding any given number of atoms in the clouds that emerge after recombination. Characteristic features like mean, standard deviation and cross-correlation function of the probability density distribution are calculated and the contrast of the interference fringes is optimized. This thesis found that optimum contrast is achieved through the control of total population of atoms in the condensate, trap frequencies, s-wave scattering length, and the duration of the interferometric cycle.

Book excerpt: This thesis demonstrates a full Mach–Zehnder interferometer with interacting Bose–Einstein condensates confined on an atom chip. It relies on the coherent manipulation of atoms trapped in a magnetic double-well potential, for which the author developed a novel type of beam splitter. Particle-wave duality enables the construction of interferometers for matter waves, which complement optical interferometers in precision measurement devices, both for technological applications and fundamental tests. This requires the development of atom-optics analogues to beam splitters, phase shifters and recombiners. Particle interactions in the Bose–Einstein condensate lead to a nonlinearity, absent in photon optics. This is exploited to generate a non-classical state with reduced atom-number fluctuations inside the interferometer. This state is then used to study the interaction-induced dephasing of the quantum superposition. The resulting coherence times are found to be a factor of three longer than expected for coherent states, highlighting the potential of entanglement as a resource for quantum-enhanced metrology.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atom interferometry is a next-generation technique of precision measurement that can vastly outperform its optical analogue. These devices utilise the wave nature of atoms to make interferometric measurements of, for example, gravitational and magnetic fields, inertial effects, and the fine-structure constant. The main focus of this thesis is the creation of a general purpose atom interferometer in free space.We create a Bose-Einstein condensate of ~105 87Rb atoms in a crossed-optical dipole trap. The atomic wave function is coherently manipulated using highly tuned pulses comprising off-resonant light that form our atom-optical elements. These atom optics are analogous to the beam splitters and mirrors in an optical interferometer. By controlling the timing and amplitude of the pulses we demonstrate the ability to excite specific momentum states with high efficiency. The tuned atom optics allows for the construction of an atom interferometer in free space. From this we can measure the recoil velocity of an 87Rb atom and calculate the value of the fine structure constant. We also demonstrate the measurement of magnetic field gradients using atom interferometry. A second method of data readout is also demonstrated, known as contrast interferometry.This increases the rate at which information is obtained and decreases the measurement duration from a few hours to a few minutes.Within the vacuum chamber we also have a copper ring which form the basis of an AC coupled ring trap for atoms. The long term goal is to use this as a waveguide for atom interferometry and, whilst not the main focus of this thesis, we present some proof-of-principle type data demonstrating the ring trap. In addition we show the first Kapitza-Dirac splitting of a BEC within the waveguide which forms the first part of a guided atom interferometer.

Book excerpt: This thesis's first part describes the realization of three experiments using an atom interferometer operated with a lithium supersonic beam. The second part presents the development of a new BEC interferometer designed to test matter neutrality. The first three experiments rely on the interactions of lithium atom with different electromagnetic fields. A time dependent electric potential difference was used to produce phase modulation of both interferometer arms at different frequencies, leading to homodyne and heterodyne detection of atom waves. A geometric phase of light (the Pancharatnam phase) was successfully transferred to our interferometer signal during Bragg diffraction, enlarging the atom optics toolbox for phase control in an atom interferometer. Finally, a focused laser beam was used to measure accurately the value of one lithium tune-out wavelength (for which its dynamic polarizability is zero). The new BEC interferometer was designed to measure a possible non-zero electric charge of rubidium isotopes 85Rb and 87Rb with enhanced sensitivity to the electron-proton charge difference and neutron neutrality. This setup relies on a large spatial separation between the two interferometer arms in a fountain configuration aiming at a cycle time of 5s. These features required particular design work both on the atomic source (atom-chip) and the diffraction process (Large Momentum Transfer). The technical choices on the vacuum chambers, laser system and magnetic sources are described and characterized. Finally, the up-to-date cold-atom source performances is shown and compared to our expectations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation describes the creation of the first matter-wave interferometer using ytterbium (Yb) atoms. Most of the experiments focus on a contrast interferometer geometry with a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) as source. The recoil frequency of the 174-Yb atom is measured with this interferometer. The recoil frequency of an atom is part of a set of precision measurements that together give a value for the fine structure constant. The experimental results of this dissertation lay the groundwork for a future sub part-per-billion (ppb) precision measurement of the Yb recoil frequency. The contrast interferometry technique is extended to substantially longer times scales than those achieved in previous experiments. A measurement at the ~10 parts-per-million level is made. Systematic effects and statistical scaling are studied and found to be compatible with the desired sub-ppb precision for a future measurement. Such a measurement requires a detailed theoretical study of possible systematic shifts to the measured value. A substantial portion of this dissertation consists of this analysis, carried out in sufficient generality as to guide future sub-ppb level measurements. In addition to a large number of possible systematic shifts due to well-understood physics, two more complex effects are identified and studied: Diffraction phases and atom-atom interactions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of laser cooling of atoms led to the discovery of ultra-cold matter, with temperatures below liquid Helium, which displays a variety of new physical phenomena. Physics of Ultra-Cold Matter gives an overview of this recent area of science, with a discussion of its main results and a description of its theoretical concepts and methods. Ultra-cold matter can be considered in three distinct phases: ultra-cold gas, Bose Einstein condensate, and Rydberg plasmas. This book gives an integrated view of this new area of science at the frontier between atomic physics, condensed matter, and plasma physics. It describes these three distinct phases while exploring the differences, as well as the sometimes unexpected similarities, of their respective theoretical methods. This book is an informative guide for researchers, and the benefits are a result from an integrated view of a very broad area of research, which is limited in previous books about this subject. The main unifying tool explored in this book is the wave kinetic theory based on Wigner functions. Other theoretical approaches, eventually more familiar to the reader, are also given for extension and comparison. The book considers laser cooling techniques, atom-atom interactions, and focuses on the elementary excitations and collective oscillations in atomic clouds, Bose-Einstein condensates, and Rydberg plasmas. Linear and nonlinear processes are considered, including Landau damping, soliton excitation and vortices. Atomic interferometers and quantum coherence are also included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this volume is to discuss the rapidly moving field of atom optics and interferometry with all its intricate aspects ranging from fundamental physics to applications and the theory of relativity. The breathtaking success in manipulating atoms using lasers has encouraged these two so far disjunct communities to move closer together and begin collaborations. After an introduction to atom optics and Bose-Einstein condensation, the theoretical foundations of cold atom interferometers, their use to test gravity, and their implementation in laboratory measurements of the Earth rotation and of Newton's gravitational constant are discussed. Several papers discuss the characteristics of gyroscopes and interferometers as sensors for inertial forces, starting from gyroscopes based on light waves and comparing their sensitivity to those based on matter waves. The final topic is the variation of fundamental constants, a subject that during the last years has attracted a lot of attention from different communities of physics.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis outlines the main experimental results of a Bose-Einstein condensate(BEC) interferometer and the finite temperature coherence of elongated BECs. Cold atom and BEC-based interferometers take advantage of the wave nature of atoms as they are cooled and can be used for precision measurements of fundamental physics, fundamental constants, rotations and gravitational gradients. The coherence properties of atomic matter-waves are of great interest, in particular phase coherence, which has played an important role in fundamental research involving BEC interferometry. When subject to high cloud aspect ratios, BECs become elongated and exhibited phase fluctuations, which can have a dramatic affect on the performance of matter-wave interferometers. A brief overview of the history and basic theory of Bose-Einstein condensates is presented as well as introducing the various studies and applications in metrology involving BECs. The theory of the techniques used to create a BEC, such as laser cooling, trapping and evaporation, are discussed along with the dynamics of BECs, matter-wave interference and phase fluctuations. The experimental chapters describe the various concepts, techniques and mechanisms used to experimentally observe matter-wave interference fringes. The interference fringes are a result of realising two BECs from a double-well potential, which is created using a combination of magnetic and optical potentials, and allowing them to expand and overlap. The main interferometry results are then discussed, this includes the observation of single-shot interference fringes with contrast ≥95%, which has a strong dependence on the detuning of the imaging beam. Also, a strong dependence on fringe contrast with the focal location of the camera is observed, which can now be clearly attributed to the Talbot effect. This is the first reported observation of the spatial Talbot effect of light interacting with period BEC fringes, revealing the drastic effect it can have on the interference signal. The major results regarding phase fluctuations in elongated condensates are presented. These include the existence of large regular period phase fluctuations, which should normally be of random phase and size. By dynamically changing the aspect ratio of the condensate during an experimental sequence, a controlled generation and removal of phase fluctuations in a Bose-Einstein condensate is observed, indicating a phase revival. The thesis concludes by considering potential improvements and future experiments, which could be used towards the experimental implementation of a BEC interferometer.
