Proposal for a motional-state Bell inequality test with ultracold atoms
arXiv:1411.0191 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.91.052114
Abstract
We propose and theoretically simulate an experiment for demonstrating a motional-state Bell inequality violation for pairs of momentum-entangled atoms produced in Bose-Einstein condensate collisions. The proposal is based on realizing an atom-optics analog of the Rarity-Tapster optical scheme: it uses laser-induced Bragg pulses to implement two-particle interferometry on the underlying Bell-state for two pairs of atomic scattering modes with equal but opposite momenta. The collision dynamics and the sequence of Bragg pulses are simulated using the stochastic Bogoliubov approach in the positive-P representation. We predict values of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) parameter up to S~2.5 for experimentally realistic parameter regimes, showing a strong violation of the CSHS-Bell inequality bounded classically by S<2.
