Efficient matter-wave lensing of ultracold atomic mixtures
arXiv:2207.07045 · doi:10.1088/2058-9565/acb16e
Abstract
Mixtures of ultracold quantum gases are at the heart of high-precision quantum tests of the weak equivalence principle, where extremely low expansion rates have to be reached with matter-wave lensing techniques. We propose to simplify this challenging atom-source preparation by employing magic laser wavelengths for the optical lensing potentials which guarantee that all atomic species follow identical trajectories and experience common expansion dynamics. In this way, the relative shape of the mixture is conserved during the entire evolution while cutting in half the number of required lensing pulses compared to standard approaches.
