{"title":"Interference of interacting matter waves","year":"2010","abstract":[{"text":"The phenomenon of matter-wave interference lies at the heart of quantum physics. It has been observed in various contexts in the limit of non-interacting particles as a single-particle effect. Here we observe and control matter-wave interference whose evolution is driven by interparticle interactions. In a multi-path matter-wave interferometer, the macroscopic manybody wave function of an interacting atomic Bose-Einstein condensate develops a regular interference pattern, allowing us to detect and directly visualize the effect of interaction-induced phase shifts. We demonstrate control over the phase evolution by inhibiting interaction-induced dephasing and by refocusing a dephased macroscopic matter wave in a spin-echo-type experiment. Our results show that interactions in a many-body system lead to a surprisingly coherent evolution, possibly enabling narrow-band and high-brightness matterwave interferometers based on atom lasers.","lang":"eng"}],"_id":"1046","month":"06","date_published":"2010-06-28T00:00:00Z","oa_version":"None","author":[{"first_name":"Mattias","full_name":"Gustavsson, Mattias","last_name":"Gustavsson"},{"first_name":"Elmar","full_name":"Haller, Elmar","last_name":"Haller"},{"last_name":"Mark","full_name":"Mark, Manfred","first_name":"Manfred"},{"last_name":"Danzl","id":"42EFD3B6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Johann G","full_name":"Danzl, Johann G","orcid":"0000-0001-8559-3973"},{"full_name":"Hart, Russell","first_name":"Russell","last_name":"Hart"},{"full_name":"Daley, Andrew","first_name":"Andrew","last_name":"Daley"},{"full_name":"Nägerl, Hanns","first_name":"Hanns","last_name":"Nägerl"}],"date_created":"2018-12-11T11:49:51Z","date_updated":"2021-01-12T06:47:53Z","doi":"10.1088/1367-2630/12/6/065029","status":"public","acknowledgement":"We thank E Arimondo, O Morsch, W Schleich, A Smerzi, D Witthaut and A Buchleitner and his group for helpful discussions.
