Generating Solitons by Phase Engineering of a Bose-Einstein Condensate

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
J Denschlag, J E. Simsarian, D L. Feder, Charles W. Clark, L A. Collins, J Cubizolles, Lu Deng, Edward W. Hagley, Kristian Helmerson, W P. Reinhardt, S L. Rolston, B I. Schneider, William D. Phillips
We demonstrate quantum phase engineering using two novel techniques that allow us to write and read the spatial phase of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). We design and produce a quantum state by optically imprinting phasepatterns onto a condensate of

Nucleation of Vortez Arrays in Rotating Anisotropic Bose-Einstein Condensates

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
D L. Feder, Charles W. Clark, B I. Schneider
The nucleation of vortices and the resulting structures of vortex arrays in dilute, trapped, zero-temperature Bose-Einstein condensates are investigated numerically. Vortices are generated by rotating a three-dimensional, anisotropic harmonic atom trap

Hydrodynamic Excitations for a Trapped Fermi Gas

December 1, 1999
Author(s)
G M. Bruun, Charles W. Clark
We discuss collective excitations of a trapped dilute Fermi gas within a hydrodynamic approximation. Analytical results are derived for both high- and low -temperature limits and are applied to 40K and 6Li systems of current experimental interest. We

Temporal, Matter-Wave Dispersion Talbot Effect

December 1, 1999
Author(s)
Lu Deng, Edward W. Hagley, J Denschlag, J E. Simsarian, M Edwards, Charles W. Clark, Kristian Helmerson, S L. Rolston, William D. Phillips
We analyze and experimentally demonstrate a new (temporal) Talbot effect, where a pulsed phase grating is applied to a cloud of cold atoms (Bose-Einstein condensate). In contrast to the usual (spatial) Talbot effect, our atoms gain kinetic energy when

The Theory of Bose-Einstein Condensation of Dilute Gases

December 1, 1999
Author(s)
Karen G. Burnett, M Edwards, Charles W. Clark
In this article, we present a current perspective on advances in the theoretical understanding of Bose-Einstein condensation from the standpoint of atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) physics. In AMO physics, BEC has come to be perceived both as an

Non-Self-Similar Modes of Vibration of a Bose-Einstein Condensate

September 1, 1999
Author(s)
M Brewczyk, Charles W. Clark, M Lewenstein, K Rzazewski
A hydrodynamical version of the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation is used to describe driven vibrations of a Bose-Einstein condensate of 87Rb atoms in a magnetic trap. If the trap frequency is suddenly decreased, and later is suddenly returned to

Visualization of Bose-Einstein Condensates

March 1, 1999
Author(s)
Peter M. Ketcham, D L. Feder, W P. Reinhardt, Charles W. Clark, William L. George
A Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is a state of matter that exists at extremely low temperatures.BECs are currently under investigation through both numerical simulation and laboratory experiments.The visualization of data generated by numerical simulation
