On the mechanical properties of matter waves
Nicholas K Whitlock, Stephen M Barnett, John Jeffers
Electromagnetic waves and fluids have locally conserved mechanical properties associated with them and we may expect these to exist for matter waves. We present a semiclassical des…
Semiclassical theory of matter-wave detection
Nicholas K. Whitlock, Stephen M. Barnett, John Jeffers
We derive a semiclassical theory for the detection of matter-waves. This theory draws on the theories of semiclassical optical detection and fluid mechanics. We observe that the in…
Relative phase fluctuations of two coupled one-dimensional condensates
Nicholas Whitlock, Isabelle Bouchoule
We study the relative phase fluctuations of two one-dimensional condensates coupled along their whole extension with a local single-atom interaction. The thermal equilibrium is def…
