Probing the Degree of Coherence through the Full 1D to 3D crossover

Abstract

We experimentally study a gas of quantum degenerate ${}^{87}$Rb atoms throughout the full dimensional crossover, from a one-dimensional (1D) system exhibiting phase fluctuations consistent with 1D theory to a three-dimensional (3D) phase-coherent system, thereby smoothly interpolating between these distinct, well-understood regimes. Using a hybrid trapping architecture combining an atom chip with a printed circuit board, we continuously adjust the system's dimensionality over a wide range while measuring the phase fluctuations through the power spectrum of density ripples in time-of-flight expansion. Our measurements confirm that the chemical potential $\mu$ controls the departure of the system from 3D and that the fluctuations are dependent on both $\mu$ and the temperature $T$. Through a rigorous study we quantitatively observe how inside the crossover the dependence on $T$ gradually disappears as the system becomes 3D. Throughout the entire crossover the fluctuations are shown to be determined by the relative occupation of 1D axial collective excitations.
