Population and Phase Coherence during the Growth of an Elongated Bose-Einstein Condensate
arXiv:cond-mat/0602346 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.75.011602
Abstract
We study the growth of an elongated phase-fluctuating condensate from a non-equilibrium thermal cloud obtained by shock-cooling. We compare the growth of the condensate with numerical simulations, revealing a time delay and a reduction in the growth rate which we attribute to phase fluctuations. We measure the phase coherence using momentum Bragg spectroscopy, and thereby observe the evolution of the phase coherence as a function of time. Combining the phase coherence results with the numerical simulations, we suggest a simple model for the reduction of the growth rate based on the reduction of bosonic stimulation due to phase fluctuations and obtain improved agreement between theory and experiment.
