STE-QUEST - Test of the Universality of Free Fall Using Cold Atom Interferometry
D. Aguilera, H. Ahlers, B. Battelier +63
The theory of general relativity describes macroscopic phenomena driven by the influence of gravity while quantum mechanics brilliantly accounts for microscopic effects. Despite th…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking in spinor Bose-Einstein condensates
M. Scherer, B. Lücke, O. Topic +6
We present an analytical model for the theoretical analysis of spin dynamics and spontaneous symmetry breaking in a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). This allows for an excell…
Microwave sidebands for laser cooling by direct modulation of a tapered amplifier
Jan Mahnke, Sascha Kulas, Ilka Geisel +3
Laser cooling of atoms usually necessitates several laser frequencies. Alkaline atoms, for example, are cooled by two lasers with a frequency difference in the Gigahertz range. Thi…
Interferometry with Bose-Einstein Condensates in Microgravity
H. Müntinga, H. Ahlers, M. Krutzik +41
Atom interferometers covering macroscopic domains of space-time are a spectacular manifestation of the wave nature of matter. Due to their unique coherence properties, Bose-Einstei…
