Realizing a stable magnetic double-well potential on an atom chip
Jerome Esteve, Thorsten Schumm, Jean-Baptiste Trebbia +3
We discuss design considerations and the realization of a magnetic double-well potential on an atom chip using current-carrying wires. Stability requirements for the trapping poten…
Atomic diffraction by a thin phase grating
C. Henkel, J. -Y. Courtois, A. Aspect
We present a semiclassical perturbation method for the description of atomic diffraction by a weakly modulated potential. It proceeds in a way similar to the treatment of light dif…
Bell's Theorem : The Naive View of an Experimentalist
Alain Aspect
In the first part of this presentation (sections 2 to 6), I show that Bell's Inequalities provide a quantitative criterion to test "reasonable" Supplementary Parameters Theories ve…
Observation of deviations from ideal gas thermodynamics in a trapped Bose-Einstein condensed gas
Fabrice Gerbier, Joseph H. Thywissen, Simon Richard +3
We have investigated experimentally the finite-temperature properties of a Bose-Einstein condensed cloud of Rb atoms in a harmonic trap. Focusing primarily on condensed frac…
Phase shifts of atomic de Broglie waves at an evanescent wave mirror
C. Henkel, J. -Y. Courtois, R. Kaiser +2
A detailed theoretical investigation of the reflection of an atomic de Broglie wave at an evanescent wave mirror is presented. The classical and the semiclassical descriptions of t…
Resolved diffraction patterns from a reflection grating for atoms
J. Esteve, D. Stevens, V. Savalli +3
We have studied atomic diffraction at normal incidence from an evanescent standing wave with a high resolution using velocity selective Raman transitions. We have observed up to 3…
