Description:
We demonstrated an experimental technique based on stimulated light scattering to continuously sample the relative phase of two spatially separated Bose-Einstein condensates of atoms. The phase measurement process created a relative phase between two condensates with no initial phase relation, read out the phase, and monitored the phase evolution. This technique was used to realize interferometry between two trapped Bose-Einstein condensates without need for splitting or recombining the atom cloud.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Saba, M -- Pasquini, T A -- Sanner, C -- Shin, Y -- Ketterle, W -- Pritchard, D E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Mar 25;307(5717):1945-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physics, MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms, and Research Laboratory of Electronics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA. msaba@mit.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15790851" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
