Characterization of an atom interferometer in the quasi-Bragg regime
Ashley Béguin, Tangui Rodzinka, Jacques Vigué +2
We provide a comprehensive study of ultra-cold atom diffraction by an optical lattice. We focus on an intermediate regime between the Raman-Nath and the Bragg regimes, the so-calle…
Stokes force on a cylinder in the presence of fluid confinement
Gilles Dolfo, Jacques Vigué, Daniel Lhuillier
In this note, we present Stokes' calculation of the force exerted by the fluid on an oscillating cylinder. While the calculation of the similar problem in the case of the sphere is…
Classical analogue of the continuous transition between the Weisskopf-Wigner exponential decay and the Rabi oscillation
Gilles Dolfo, Jacques Vigué
When a discrete state is coupled to a continuum, the dynamics can be described either by the Weisskopf-Wigner exponential decay or by the Rabi oscillation, depending on the relativ…
Test of the He-McKellar-Wilkens topological phase by atom interferometry. Part I: theoretical discussion
Steven Lepoutre, Alexandre Gauguet, Matthias Büchner +1
We have recently tested the topological phase predicted by He and McKellar and by Wilkens: this phase appears when an electric dipole propagates in a transverse magnetic field. In…
Test of the He-McKellar-Wilkens topological phase by atom interferometry. Part II: the experiment and its results
Steven Lepoutre, Jonathan Gillot, Alexandre Gauguet +2
In this paper, we describe an experimental test of the He-McKellar-Wilkens (HMW) topological phase with our lithium atom interferometer. The expected value of the HMW phase shift i…
He-McKellar-Wilkens topological phase in atom interferometry
Steven Lepoutre, Gérard Trenec, Matthias Büchner +2
We report the first experimental test of the topological phase predicted by He and McKellar and by Wilkens in 1993: this phase, which appears when an electric dipole propagates in…
