飞行时间分布中的量子干涉

Quantum interference in the time-of-flight distribution

Md. Manirul Ali, Hsi-Sheng Goan

摘要:

我们提出了一个实验方案,观察物质波干涉的时间域,特别是在到达时间或飞行时间(TOF)分布的原子BEC薛定谔猫态表示的宏观分离的波包在空间的叠加。这与在BEC实验报告中观察到的固定时间的空间干扰相反。我们预测和量化的量子干涉TOF分布计算的量子概率电流密度的模量(而不是TOF分布从一个纯粹的经典或半经典的治疗在许多报道的实验)。量子TOF信号中的干涉和相干性在大质量极限中消失。我们的方案有可能探测各种其他理论方法(Phys.Rep.338,353(2000))计算量子到达时间分布的有效性。

英文摘要:

We propose a scheme to experimentally observe matter-wave interference in the time domain, specifically in the arrival-time or the time-of-flight (TOF) distribution for atomic BEC Schrodinger-cat state represented by superposition of macroscopically separated wave packets in space. This is in contrast to interference in space at a fixed time observed in reported BEC experiments. We predict and quantify the quantum interference in the TOF distribution calculated from the modulus of the quantum probability current density (rather than the TOF distributions obtained from a purely classical or semi-classical treatment in many reported experiments). The interference and hence the coherence in the quantum TOF signal disappears in the large-mass limit. Our scheme has the potential to probe the validity of various other theoretical approaches (Phys. Rep. 338, 353 (2000)) of calculating the quantum arrival time distribution.
