A Bose-condensed, simultaneous dual species Mach-Zehnder atom interferometer

Abstract
This paper presents the first realisation of a simultaneous Rb -Rb Mach-Zehnder atom interferometer with Bose-condensed atoms. A number of ambitious proposals for precise terrestrial and space based tests of the Weak Equivalence Principle rely on such a system. This implementation utilises hybrid magnetic-optical trapping to produce spatially overlapped condensates with a duty cycle of 20s. A horizontal optical waveguide with co-linear Bragg beamsplitters and mirrors is used to simultaneously address both isotopes in the interferometer. We observe a non-linear phase shift on a non-interacting Rb interferometer as a function of interferometer time, , which we show arises from inter-isotope scattering with the co-incident Rb interferometer. A discussion of implications for future experiments is given.
