Number Fluctuations and Energy Dissipation in Sodium Spinor Condensates

June 5, 2009

Author(s)

Yingmei Liu, Eduardo N. Gomez, Stephen E. Maxwell, Lincoln D. Turner, Eite Tiesinga, Paul D. Lett

We characterize fluctuations in atom number and spin populations in F = 1 sodium spinor condensates. The time evolution of the population fluctuations shows a maximum. We interpret this as evidence of a dissipation-driven separatrix crossing in phase space

Quantum Phase Transitions and Continuous Observation of Spinor Dynamics in an Antiferromagnetic Condensate

March 23, 2009

Author(s)

Yingmei Liu, Sebastian Jung, Stephen E. Maxwell, Lincoln Turner, Eite Tiesinga, Paul D. Lett

Spinor Bose-Einstein condensates of F=1 sodium atoms display interesting spin population dynamics due to the antiferromagnetic nature of the interactions in this system. We use Faraday rotation spectroscopy, a minimally destructive technique, to

Performance of a Large-Area Avalanche Photodiode at Low Temperature for Scintillation Detection
