摘要:

本文描述了$^{87}$ Rb玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体中旋量态的物质波干涉效应。F=2流形的分量由强制Majorana跃迁填充,然后在施加的磁场中由于重力而自由下落。弱的不均匀性的磁场,目前在实验中,施加相对速度到不同的$m_F$组件,这表现为干涉图案后,测量原子密度分布与斯特恩-格拉赫成像方法。我们表明,在实验中可能会出现的干扰效应,即使梯度的磁场分量被消除,但高阶不均匀性存在,相互作用的持续时间足够长。特别是,我们表明,由此产生的物质波干涉图案可以模仿自发斑图形成的量子气体。

英文摘要:

We describe effects of matter-wave interference of spinor states in the $^{87}$Rb Bose-Einstein condensate. The components of the F=2 manifold are populated by forced Majorana transitions and then fall freely due to gravity in an applied magnetic field. Weak inhomogeneities of the magnetic field, present in the experiment, impose relative velocities onto different $m_F$ components, which show up as interference patterns upon measurement of atomic density distributions with a Stern-Gerlach imaging method. We show that interference effects may appear in experiments even if gradients of the magnetic field components are eliminated but higher order inhomogeneity is present and the duration of the interaction is long enough. In particular, we show that the resulting matter-wave interference patterns can mimic spontaneous pattern formation in the quantum gas.
