Exploring Modeling Techniques in BEC Atom-Interferometry
ORAL
Abstract
We find semiclassical (WKB) techniques to be effective for analyzing atom interferometry in Bose-Einstein Condensates. These allow inexpensive simulations to reproduce fine details of matter-wave interference seen in multi-component BEC atom-laser experiments. In this talk I will discuss how to use phase-retrieval techniques for tomographic reconstruction of the underlying potentials from the observed interference patterns. The reconstructed potentials are used to confirm the validity of the simplified WKB approximation, laying the foundation for a new quantum imaging technique based on matter-wave interferometry.
