Measurement of the Aharonov-Casher geometric phase with a separated-arm atom interferometer
Jonathan Gillot, Steven Lepoutre, Alexandre Gauguet +2
In this letter, we report a measurement of the Aharonov-Casher (AC) geometric phase with our lithium atom interferometer. The AC phase appears when a particle carrying a magnetic d…
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…
Optical pumping of a lithium atomic beam for atom interferometry
Jonathan Gillot, Alexandre Gauguet, Matthias Büchner +1
We apply optical pumping to prepare the lithium beam of our atom interferometer in a single hyperfine-Zeeman sublevel: we use two components of the D1-line for pumping the 7Li atom…
