Physics with coherent matter waves

K Bongs, K Sengstock - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2004 - iopscience.iop.org
This review discusses progress in the new field of coherent matter waves, particularly with
respect to Bose–Einstein condensates. We give a short introduction to Bose–Einstein …

Ultracold atomic gases in optical lattices: mimicking condensed matter physics and beyond

M Lewenstein, A Sanpera, V Ahufinger… - Advances in …, 2007 - Taylor & Francis
We review recent developments in the physics of ultracold atomic and molecular gases in
optical lattices. Such systems are nearly perfect realisations of various kinds of Hubbard …

Dynamics of Spinor Bose-Einstein Condensates

H Schmaljohann, M Erhard, J Kronjäger, M Kottke… - Physical review …, 2004 - APS
We experimentally investigate and analyze the rich dynamics in F= 2 spinor Bose-Einstein
condensates of R b 87. An interplay between mean-field driven spin dynamics and hyperfine …

Spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates

TD Stanescu, B Anderson, V Galitski - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular …, 2008 - APS
We consider a many-body system of pseudo-spin-1∕ 2 bosons with spin-orbit interactions,
which couple the momentum and the internal pseudo-spin degree of freedom created by …

Thermometry and cooling of a Bose gas to 0.02 times the condensation temperature

R Olf, F Fang, GE Marti, A MacRae, DM Stamper-Kurn - Nature Physics, 2015 - nature.com
Trapped quantum gases can be cooled to impressively low temperatures,, but it is unclear
whether their entropy is low enough to realize phenomena such as d-wave …

Thermometry with spin-dependent lattices

D McKay, B DeMarco - New Journal of Physics, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose a method for measuring the temperature of strongly correlated phases of
ultracold atom gases confined in spin-dependent optical lattices. In this technique, a small …

Magnetically tuned spin dynamics resonance

J Kronjäger, C Becker, P Navez, K Bongs… - Physical review letters, 2006 - APS
We present the experimental observation of a magnetically tuned resonance phenomenon
in the spin mixing dynamics of ultracold atomic gases. In particular, we study the magnetic …

Evolution of a spinor condensate: Coherent dynamics, dephasing, and revivals

J Kronjäger, C Becker, M Brinkmann, R Walser… - Physical Review A …, 2005 - APS
We present measurements and a theoretical model for the interplay of spin-dependent
interactions and external magnetic fields in atomic spinor condensates. We highlight general …

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

M Egorov, RP Anderson, V Ivannikov, B Opanchuk… - Physical Review A …, 2011 - APS
We observe the coherence of an interacting two-component Bose-Einstein condensate
(BEC) surviving for seconds in a trapped Ramsey interferometer. Mean-field-driven …

Spinor dynamics in an antiferromagnetic spin-1 thermal Bose gas

HK Pechkis, JP Wrubel, A Schwettmann, PF Griffin… - Physical Review Letters, 2013 - APS
We present experimental observations of coherent spin-population oscillations in a cold
thermal, Bose gas of spin-1 Na 23 atoms. The population oscillations in a multi-spatial-mode …
