Quantum Test of the Universality of Free Fall
Dennis Schlippert, Jonas Hartwig, Henning Albers +6
We simultaneously measure the gravitationally-induced phase shift in two Raman-type matter-wave interferometers operated with laser-cooled ensembles of Rb and K atoms…
Probing the axis alignment of an ultracold spin-polarized molecule
Markus Deiß, Björn Drews, Benjamin Deissler +1
We present a novel method for probing the alignment of the molecular axis of an ultracold, nonpolar dimer. These results are obtained using diatomic molecules…
Interferometry with Bose-Einstein Condensates in Microgravity
H. Müntinga, H. Ahlers, M. Krutzik +41
Atom interferometers covering macroscopic domains of space-time are a spectacular manifestation of the wave nature of matter. Due to their unique coherence properties, Bose-Einstei…
Atom lens without chromatic aberrations
Maxim A. Efremov, Polina V. Mironova, Wolfgang P. Schleich
We propose a lens for atoms with reduced chromatic aberrations and calculate its focal length and spot size. In our scheme a two-level atom interacts with a near-resonant standing…
Hyperfine, rotational, and vibrational structure of the triplet ground state of Rb molecules
Christoph Strauss, Tetsu Takekoshi, Florian Lang +4
We have performed high-resolution two-photon dark-state spectroscopy of an ultracold gas of Rb molecules in the triplet ground state at a magnetic field of about 1000 G. The vibrat…
Quantum reflection of helium atom beams from a microstructured grating
Bum Suk Zhao, Stephan A. Schulz, Samuel A. Meek +2
We observe high-resolution diffraction patterns of a thermal-energy helium-atom beam reflected from a microstructured surface grating at grazing incidence. The grating consists of…
