Trapping and coherent manipulation of a Rydberg atom on a microfabricated device: a proposal
John Mozley, Philippe Hyafil, Gilles Nogues +3
We propose to apply atom-chip techniques to the trapping of a single atom in a circular Rydberg state. The small size of microfabricated structures will allow for trap geometries w…
Roughness correction to the Casimir force : Beyond the Proximity Force Approximation
Paulo A. Maia Neto, Astrid Lambrecht, Serge Reynaud
We calculate the roughness correction to the Casimir effect in the parallel plates geometry for metallic plates described by the plasma model. The calculation is perturbative in th…
A modulated mirror for atomic interferometry
C. Henkel, A. M. Steane, R. Kaiser +1
A novel atomic beam splitter, using reflection of atoms off an evanescent light wave, is investigated theoretically. The intensity or frequency of the light is modulated in order t…
Manipulation and storage of optical field and atomic ensemble quantum states
Aurelien Dantan, Alberto Bramati, Michel Pinard +1
We study how to efficiently manipulate and store quantum information between optical fields and atomic ensembles. We show how various non-dissipative transfer schemes can be used t…
Criteria of quantum correlation in the measurement of continuous variables in optics
Nicolas Treps, Claude Fabre
The purpose of this short tutorial paper is to review various criteria that have been used to characterize the quantum character of correlations in optical systems, such as "gemell…
Interference of an array of independent Bose-Einstein condensates
Zoran Hadzibabic, Sabine Stock, Baptiste Battelier +2
We have observed high-contrast matter wave interference between 30 Bose-Einstein condensates with uncorrelated phases. Interference patterns were observed after independent condens…
