Diffractive focusing of a uniform Bose-Einstein condensate
arXiv:2102.08682 · doi:10.1088/1361-6455/ac2ab6
Abstract
We propose a straightforward implementation of the phenomenon of diffractive focusing with uniform atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. Both, analytical as well as numerical methods not only illustrate the influence of the atom-atom interaction on the focusing factor and the focus time, but also allow us to derive the optimal conditions for observing focusing of this type in the case of interacting matter waves.
