Quantum projection noise limited interferometry with coherent atoms in a Ramsey type setup
Every measurement of the population in an uncorrelated ensemble of two-level
systems is limited by what is known as the quantum projection noise limit.
Here, we present quantum projection noise limited performance of a Ramsey type
interferometer using freely propagating coherent atoms. The experimental setup
is based on an electro-optic modulator in an inherently stable Sagnac
interferometer, optically coupling the two interfering atomic states via a
two-photon Raman transition. Going beyond the quantum projection noise limit
requires the use of reduced quantum uncertainty (squeezed) states. The
experiment described demonstrates atom interferometry at the fundamental noise
level and allows the observation of possible squeezing effects in an atom
laser, potentially leading to improved sensitivity in atom interferometers.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures, published in Phys. Rev.
A Bose-condensed, simultaneous dual species Mach-Zehnder atom interferometer
This paper presents the first realisation of a simultaneous Rb
-Rb Mach-Zehnder atom interferometer with Bose-condensed atoms. A number
of ambitious proposals for precise terrestrial and space based tests of the
Weak Equivalence Principle rely on such a system. This implementation utilises
hybrid magnetic-optical trapping to produce spatially overlapped condensates
with a duty cycle of 20s. A horizontal optical waveguide with co-linear Bragg
beamsplitters and mirrors is used to simultaneously address both isotopes in
the interferometer. We observe a non-linear phase shift on a non-interacting
Rb interferometer as a function of interferometer time, , which we
show arises from inter-isotope scattering with the co-incident Rb
interferometer. A discussion of implications for future experiments is given.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures. The authors welcome comments and feedback on this

Cold atom gravimetry with a Bose-Einstein Condensate
We present a cold atom gravimeter operating with a sample of Bose-condensed
Rubidium-87 atoms. Using a Mach-Zehnder configuration with the two arms
separated by a two-photon Bragg transition, we observe interference fringes
with a visibility of 83% at T=3 ms. We exploit large momentum transfer (LMT)
beam splitting to increase the enclosed space-time area of the interferometer
using higher-order Bragg transitions and Bloch oscillations. We also compare
fringes from condensed and thermal sources, and observe a reduced visibility of
58% for the thermal source. We suspect the loss in visibility is caused partly
by wavefront aberrations, to which the thermal source is more susceptible due
to its larger transverse momentum spread. Finally, we discuss briefly the
potential advantages of using a coherent atomic source for LMT, and present a
simple mean-field model to demonstrate that with currently available
experimental parameters, interaction-induced dephasing will not limit the
sensitivity of inertial measurements using freely-falling, coherent atomic
sources.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures. Final version, published PR
A Bright Solitonic Matter-Wave Interferometer
We present the first realisation of a solitonic atom interferometer. A
Bose-Einstein condensate of atoms of rubidium-85 is loaded into a
horizontal optical waveguide. Through the use of a Feshbach resonance, the
-wave scattering length of the Rb atoms is tuned to a small negative
value. This attractive atomic interaction then balances the inherent
matter-wave dispersion, creating a bright solitonic matter wave. A Mach-Zehnder
interferometer is constructed by driving Bragg transitions with the use of an
optical lattice co-linear with the waveguide. Matter wave propagation and
interferometric fringe visibility are compared across a range of -wave
scattering values including repulsive, attractive and non-interacting values.
The solitonic matter wave is found to significantly increase fringe visibility
even compared with a non-interacting cloud.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
Rb-85 tunable-interaction Bose-Einstein condensate machine
We describe our experimental setup for creating stable Bose-Einstein
condensates of Rb-85 with tunable interparticle interactions. We use
sympathetic cooling with Rb-87 in two stages, initially in a tight
Ioffe-Pritchard magnetic trap and subsequently in a weak, large-volume crossed
optical dipole trap, using the 155 G Feshbach resonance to manipulate the
elastic and inelastic scattering properties of the Rb-85 atoms. Typical Rb-85
condensates contain 4 x 10^4 atoms with a scattering length of a=+200a_0. Our
minimalist apparatus is well-suited to experiments on dual-species and spinor
Rb condensates, and has several simplifications over the Rb-85 BEC machine at
JILA (Papp, 2007; Papp and Wieman, 2006), which we discuss at the end of this
article.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figure
Medium-term exposure of the North Atlantic copepod Calanus finmarchicus (Gunnerus, 1770) to CO2-acidified seawater: effects on survival and development
The impact of medium-term exposure to CO2-acidified seawater on survival, growth and development was investigated in the North Atlantic copepod Calanus finmarchicus. Using a custom developed experimental system, fertilized eggs and subsequent development stages were exposed to normal seawater (390 ppm CO2) or one of three different levels of CO2-induced acidification (3300, 7300, 9700 ppm CO2). Following the 28-day exposure period, survival was found to be unaffected by exposure to 3300 ppm CO2, but significantly reduced at 7300 and 9700 ppm CO2. Also, the proportion of copepodite stages IV to VI observed in the different treatments was significantly affected in a manner that may indicate a CO2-induced retardation of the rate of ontogenetic development. Morphometric analysis revealed a significant increase in size (prosome length) and lipid storage volume in stage IV copepodites exposed to 3300 ppm CO2 and reduced size in stage III copepodites exposed to 7300 ppm CO2. Together, the findings indicate that a pCO2 level ≤2000 ppm (the highest CO2 level expected by the year 2300) will probably not directly affect survival in C. finmarchicus. Longer term experiments at more moderate CO2 levels are, however, necessary before the possibility that growth and development may be affected below 2000 ppm CO2 can be ruled out.© Author(s) 2013.

Bosenova and three-body loss in a Rb-85 Bose-Einstein condensate
Collapsing Bose-Einstein condensates are rich and complex quantum systems for
which quantitative explanation by simple models has proved elusive. We present
new experimental data on the collapse of high density Rb-85 condensates with
attractive interactions and find quantitative agreement with the predictions of
the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The collapse data and measurements of the decay
of atoms from our condensates allow us to put new limits on the value of the
Rb-85 three-body loss coefficient K_3 at small positive and negative scattering
lengths.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
11 W narrow linewidth laser source at 780nm for laser cooling and manipulation of Rubidium
We present a narrow linewidth continuous laser source with over 11 Watts of
output power at 780nm, based on single-pass frequency doubling of an amplified
1560nm fibre laser with 36% efficiency. This source offers a combination of
high power, simplicity, mode quality and stability. Without any active
stabilization, the linewidth is measured to be below 10kHz. The fibre seed is
tunable over 60GHz, which allows access to the D2 transitions in 87Rb and 85Rb,
providing a viable high-power source for laser cooling as well as for
large-momentum-transfer beamsplitters in atom interferometry. Sources of this
type will pave the way for a new generation of high flux, high duty-cycle
degenerate quantum gas experiments.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
