Quantum Gas Mixtures and Dual-Species Atom Interferometry in Space
Ethan R. Elliott, David C. Aveline, Nicholas P. Bigelow +24
The capability to reach ultracold atomic temperatures in compact instruments has recently been extended into space. Ultracold temperatures amplify quantum effects, while free-fall…
Exploring the limits of ultracold atoms in space
RJ Thompson, D. C. Aveline, Sheng-Wey Chiow +10
Existing space-based cold atom experiments have demonstrated the utility of microgravity for improvements in observation times and for minimizing the expansion energy and rate of a…
Core polarizability of rubidium using spectroscopy of the ng to nh, ni Rydberg transitions
S. J. Berl, C. A. Sackett, T. F. Gallagher +1
We present a precise measurement of the rubidium ionic core polarizability. The results can be useful for interpreting experiments such as parity violation or black-body radiation…
Estimation of phase diffusion rates in a condensate interferometer using the Gross-Pitaevskii Equation
A. Fallon, R. H. Leonard, C. A. Sackett
Atom interferometers using Bose-Einstein condensates are fundamentally limited by a phase diffusion process that arises from atomic interactions. The Gross-Pitaevskii equation is h…
Suspension of atoms and gravimetry using a pulsed standing wave
K. J. Hughes, J. H. T. Burke, C. A. Sackett
Atoms from an otherwise unconfined 87Rb condensate are shown to be suspended against gravity using repeated reflections from a pulsed optical standing wave. Reflection efficiency w…
Limits on weak magnetic confinement of neutral atoms
C. A. Sackett
It is shown that when a magnetic field is used to support neutral atoms against the gravitational force mg, the total curvature of the field magnitude B must be larger than m^2 g^2…
