Statistical Tests for Force Inference in Heterogeneous Environments

Alexander S. Serov, François Laurent, Charlotte Floderer +5

We devise a method to detect and estimate forces in a heterogeneous environment based on experimentally recorded stochastic trajectories. In particular, we focus on systems modeled…

An atom interferometer for measuring loss of coherence from an atom mirror

Jerome Esteve, David Stevens, Christine Aussibal +3

We describe an atom interferometer to study the coherence of atoms reflected from an evanescent wave mirror. The interferometer is sensitive to the loss of phase coherence induced…

Resolved diffraction patterns from a reflection grating for atoms

J. Esteve, D. Stevens, V. Savalli +3

We have studied atomic diffraction at normal incidence from an evanescent standing wave with a high resolution using velocity selective Raman transitions. We have observed up to 3…

Specular reflection of matter waves from a rough mirror

V. Savalli, D. Stevens, J. Esteve +4

We have made a high resolution study of the specularity of the atomic reflection from an evanescent wave mirror using velocity selective Raman transitions. We have observed a doubl…

Using atomic interference to probe atom-surface interaction

R. Marani, L. Cognet, V. Savalli +3

We show that atomic interference in the reflection from two suitably polarized evanescent waves is sensitive to retardation effects in the atom-surface interaction for specific exp…

Theory of atomic diffraction from evanescent waves

Carsten Henkel, Hartmut Wallis, Nathalie Westbrook +4

We review recent theoretical models and experiments dealing with the diffraction of neutral atoms from a reflection grating, formed by a standing evanescent wave. We analyze diffra…
