Semiclassical Analysis of Large-Area Interference in BEC Systems
ORAL
Abstract
Matter-wave interference is a cornerstone of quantum mechanics. Observing this interference in a single-component Bose-Einstein condensate is more challenging than a multi-component system, in part due to inter-atomic interactions and prohibitive system geometry.
Recent experimental advances in have been made in observing large area interference patterns. Concomitant with this progress it is important to take steps to improve our theoretical approach to analyzing these systems. I will cover a few semiclassical techniques we have used to analyze the behavior of these dynamic systems, such as WKB and Castin-Dum. The computational efficiency of these simulations makes them ideal for the study of dilute BECs.
