A Bose-condensed, simultaneous dual species Mach-Zehnder atom interferometer
C. C. N. Kuhn, G. D. McDonald, K. S. Hardman +6
This paper presents the first realisation of a simultaneous Rb -Rb Mach-Zehnder atom interferometer with Bose-condensed atoms. A number of ambitious proposals for pre…
Optically guided linear Mach Zehnder atom interferometer
G. D. McDonald, H. Keal, P. A. Altin +7
We demonstrate a horizontal, linearly guided Mach Zehnder atom interferometer in an optical waveguide. Intended as a proof-of-principle experiment, the interferometer utilises a Bo…
Atom lasers: production, properties and prospects for precision inertial measurement
N. P. Robins, P. A. Altin, J. E. Debs +1
We review experimental progress on atom lasers out-coupled from Bose-Einstein condensates, and consider the properties of such beams in the context of precision inertial sensing. T…
Bosenova and three-body loss in a Rb-85 Bose-Einstein condensate
P. A. Altin, G. R. Dennis, G. D. McDonald +5
Collapsing Bose-Einstein condensates are rich and complex quantum systems for which quantitative explanation by simple models has proved elusive. We present new experimental data o…
Rb-85 tunable-interaction Bose-Einstein condensate machine
P. A. Altin, N. P. Robins, D. Doering +4
We describe our experimental setup for creating stable Bose-Einstein condensates of Rb-85 with tunable interparticle interactions. We use sympathetic cooling with Rb-87 in two stag…
