Decoherence-driven Cooling of a Degenerate Spinor Bose Gas

arXiv:cond-mat/0309253 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.91.240404

Abstract

We investigate the relationship between the coherence of a partially Bose-condensed spinor gas and its temperature. We observe cooling of the normal component driven by decoherence as well the effect of temperature on decoherence rates.
