Driving quantized vortices with quantum vacuum fluctuations
François Impens, Ana M. Contreras-Reyes, Paulo A. Maia Neto +4
We propose to use a rotating corrugated material plate in order to stir, through the Casimir-Polder interaction, quantized vortices in an harmonically trapped Bose-Einstein condens…

Classical phase-space approach for coherent matter waves
François Impens, David Guéry-Odelin
We investigate a classical phase-space approach of matter-wave propagation based on the Truncated Wigner Equation (TWE). We show that such description is suitable for ideal matter…

Quality factor of a matter-wave beam
François Impens
Imperfections in dilute atomic beams propagating in the paraxial regime and in potentials of cylindrical symmetry have been characterized experimentally through the measurement of…
