An electron Talbot interferometer
Benjamin J. McMorran, Alexander D. Cronin
The Talbot effect, in which a wave imprinted with transverse periodicity reconstructs itself at regular intervals, is a diffraction phenomenon that occurs in many physical systems.…
Dispersion compensation in atom interferometry by a Sagnac phase
Marion Jacquey, Alain Miffre, Gérard Trénec +3
We reanalyzed our atom interferometer measurement of the electric polarizability of lithium now accounting for the Sagnac effect due to Earth rotation. The resulting correction to…
Atom Interferometers
Alexander D. Cronin, Joerg Schmiedmayer, David E. Pritchard
Interference with atomic and molecular matter waves is a rich branch of atomic physics and quantum optics. It started with atom diffraction from crystal surfaces and the separated…
Dispersion Compensation for Atom Interferometry
Tony D. Roberts, Alexander D. Cronin, Martin V. Tiberg +1
A new technique for maintaining high contrast in an atom interferometer is used to measure large de Broglie wave phase shifts. Dependence of an interaction induced phase on the ato…
From Single to Multiple-Photon Decoherence in an Atom Interferometer
David A. Kokorowski, Alex D. Cronin, Tony D. Roberts +1
We measure the decoherence of a spatially separated atomic superposition due to spontaneous photon scattering. We observe a qualitative change in decoherence versus separation as t…
