Topological atom optics and beyond with knotted quantum wavefunctions
Maitreyi Jayaseelan, Joseph D. Murphree, Justin T. Schultz +2
Atom optics demonstrates optical phenomena with coherent matter waves, providing a foundational connection between light and matter. Significant advances in optics have followed th…
Influence of Vacuum modes on Photodetection
S. A. Wadood, J. T. Schultz, A. Nick Vamivakas +1
Photodetection is a process in which an incident field induces a polarization current in the detector. The interaction of the field with this induced current excites an electron in…
Raman fingerprints on the Bloch sphere of a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate
Justin T. Schultz, Azure Hansen, Joseph D. Murphree +2
We explore the geometric interpretation of a diabatic, two-photon Raman process as a rotation on the Bloch sphere for a pseudo-spin-1/2 system. The spin state of a spin-1/2 quantum…
A Raman Waveplate for Spinor BECs
Justin T. Schultz, Azure Hansen, Nicholas P. Bigelow
We demonstrate a waveplate for a pseudo-spin-1/2 Bose-Einstein condensate using a two-photon Raman interaction. The angle of the waveplate is set by the relative phase of the optic…
Measuring the speed of light using beating longitudinal modes in an open-cavity HeNe laser
Daniel J. D'Orazio, Mark Pearson, Justin T. Schultz +5
We describe an undergraduate laboratory that combines an accurate measurement of the speed of light, a fundamental investigation of a basic laser system, and a nontrivial use of st…
Experimental comparison of Raman and RF outcouplers for high flux atom lasers
J. E. Debs, D. Döring, P. A. Altin +6
We study the properties of an atom laser beam derived from a Bose-Einstein condensate using three different outcouplers, one based on multi-state radio frequency transitions and tw…
