Macroscopic Superpositions of Phase States with Bose-Einstein Condensates
F. Piazza, L. Pezze', A. Smerzi
Quantum superpositions of macroscopically distinguishable states having distinct phases can be created with a Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a periodic potential. The experime…
Beyond the Landau Criterion for Superfluidity
Sara Ianeselli, Chiara Menotti, Augusto Smerzi
According to the Landau criterion for superfluidity, a Bose-Einstein condensate flowing with a group velocity smaller than the sound velocity is energetically stable to the presenc…
Sub Shot-Noise Phase Sensitivity with a Bose-Einstein Condensate Mach-Zehnder Interferometer
L. Pezze', L. A. Collins A. Smerzi, G. P. Berman +1
Bose Einstein Condensates, with their coherence properties, have attracted wide interest for their possible application to ultra precise interferometry and ultra weak force sensors…
Efficient and robust initialization of a qubit register with fermionic atoms
Luciano Viverit, Chiara Menotti, Tommaso Calarco +1
We show that fermionic atoms have crucial advantages over bosonic atoms in terms of loading in optical lattices for use as a possible quantum computation device. After analyzing th…
