摘要:

利用位置灵敏、时间分辨的单原子探测器研究了原子在两个碰撞的玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体中的散射。类似于量子光学,该过程也可以被认为是自发的、简并的德布罗意波的四波混频。我们发现一个明确的原子之间的相关性,相反的动量,展示对生产的散射过程中。我们还观察到一个Hanbury布朗和Twiss相关共线动量,它允许一个独立的测量对生产源的大小,从而空间模式的大小。背靠背对占据非常接近两个相反方向的空间模式,这是未来量子光学实验的一个有前途的功能。

英文摘要:

We study atom scattering from two colliding Bose-Einstein condensates using a position sensitive, time resolved, single atom detector. In analogy to quantum optics, the process can also be thought of as spontaneous, degenerate four wave mixing of de Broglie waves. We find a clear correlation between atoms with opposite momenta, demonstrating pair production in the scattering process. We also observe a Hanbury Brown and Twiss correlation for collinear momenta, which permits an independent measurement of the size of the pair production source and thus the size of the spatial mode. The back to back pairs occupy very nearly two oppositely directed spatial modes, a promising feature for future quantum optics experiments.
