Matter-wave interferometry based on barrier beam splitters

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

In this letter, we explore the use of barriers as coherent beam splitters for the construction of matter-wave interferometers. The effect of barrier shape and width, wave-packet width, and interatomic interaction on the interference signal is comprehensively investigated. Numerical simulations demonstrate the feasibility of constructing an atom interferometer utilizing deep-cooled Bose-Einstein condensates with barrier beam splitters. Such an interferometer exhibits the capability to measure acceleration with an accuracy of up to 10⁻⁸ g within a single measurement cycle.
