Controlled splitting of an atomic wave packet
arXiv:quant-ph/0608109 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.97.070403
Abstract
We propose a simple scheme capable of adiabatically splitting an atomic wave packet using two independent translating traps. Implemented with optical dipole traps, our scheme allows a high degree of flexibility for atom interferometry arrangements and highlights its potential as an efficient and high fidelity atom optical beam splitter.
