Interference pattern and visibility of a Mott insulator
Fabrice Gerbier, Artur Widera, Simon Foelling +3
We analyze theoretically the experiment reported in [F. Gerbier et al, cond-mat/0503452], where the interference pattern produced by an expanding atomic cloud in the Mott insulator…

Coherent collisional spin dynamics in optical lattices
Artur Widera, Fabrice Gerbier, Simon Foelling +3
We report on the observation of coherent, purely collisionally driven spin dynamics of neutral atoms in an optical lattice. For high lattice depths, atom pairs confined to the same…

Spatial quantum noise interferometry in expanding ultracold atom clouds
Simon Foelling, Fabrice Gerbier, Artur Widera +3
In a pioneering experiment, Hanbury Brown and Twiss (HBT) demonstrated that noise correlations could be used to probe the properties of a (bosonic) particle source through quantum…
