Precise determination of h/m_Rb using Bloch oscillations and atomic interferometry: a mean to deduce the fine structure constant
Malo Cadoret, Estefania De Mirandes, Pierre Cladé +5
We use Bloch oscillations to transfer coherently many photon momenta to atoms. Then we can measure accurately the ratio h/m_Rb and deduce the fine structure constant alpha. The vel…
Atom Interferometry in a Vertical Optical Lattice
G. Modugno, E. de Mirandes, F. Ferlaino +3
We have studied the interference of degenerate quantum gases in a vertical optical lattice. The coherence of the atoms leads to an interference pattern when the atoms are released…
Atom interferometry with trapped Fermi gases
G. Roati, E. de Mirandes, F. Ferlaino +3
We realize an interferometer with an atomic Fermi gas trapped in an optical lattice under the influence of gravity. The single-particle interference between the eigenstates of the…
Insulating Behavior of a Trapped Ideal Fermi Gas
L. Pezze', L. Pitaevskii, A. Smerzi +7
We investigate theoretically and experimentally the center-of-mass motion of an ideal Fermi gas in a combined periodic and harmonic potential. We find a crossover from a conducting…
Collisionally Induced Transport in Periodic Potentials
H. Ott, E. de Mirandes, F. Ferlaino +3
We study the transport of ultra cold atoms in a tight optical lattice. For identical fermions the system is insulating under an external force while for bosonic atoms it is conduct…
