In-situ measurement of vacuum window birefringence by atomic spectroscopy
Andreas Steffen, Wolfgang Alt, Maximilian Genske +3
We present an in-situ method to measure the birefringence of a single vacuum window by means of microwave spectroscopy on an ensemble of cold atoms. Stress-induced birefringence ca…
Microwave control of atomic motional states in a spin-dependent optical lattice
Noomen Belmechri, Leonid Förster, Wolfgang Alt +3
Spin-dependent optical potentials allow us to use microwave radiation to manipulate the motional state of trapped neutral atoms (Förster et al. 2009 Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 233001).…
Electric quantum walks with individual atoms
Maximilian Genske, Wolfgang Alt, Andreas Steffen +4
We report on the experimental realization of electric quantum walks, which mimic the effect of an electric field on a charged particle in a lattice. Starting from a textbook implem…
