Johannes Hecker Denschlag,Jesse E. Simsarian,David L. Feder,David L. Feder,Charles W. Clark,Lee A. Collins,J. Cubizolles,J. Cubizolles,Lu Deng,Edward W. Hagley,Kristian Helmerson,William P. Reinhardt,William P. Reinhardt,Steven L. Rolston,Barry I. Schneider,William D. Phillips +15 more
TL;DR: A quantum state was designed and produced by optically imprinting a phase pattern onto a BEC of sodium atoms, and matter-wave interferometry with spatially resolved imaging was used to analyze the resultant phase distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observation of atoms laser cooled below the Doppler limit
Paul D. Lett,Richard N. Watts,Christoph I Westbrook,William D. Phillips,Phillip L. Gould,Harold Metcalf +5 more
TL;DR: This "Doppler cooling limit" results from the minimization of the detuning-dependent temperature at low laser power1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser Deceleration of an Atomic Beam
TL;DR: In this article, the deceleration and velocity bunching of Na atoms in an atomic beam have been observed, caused by absorption of counter-propagating resonant laser light.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantized rotation of atoms from photons with orbital angular momentum.
Mikkel F. Andersen,Changhyun Ryu,Pierre Cladé,Vasant Natarajan,Alipasha Vaziri,Kristian Helmerson,William D. Phillips +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the coherent transfer of the orbital angular momentum of a photon to an atom is demonstrated in quantized units of variant Planck's over 2pi, using a 2-photon stimulated Raman process with Laguerre-Gaussian beams to generate an atomic vortex state in a Bose-Einstein condensate of sodium atoms.
