14 Jul 1996TL;DR: The striking signature of Bose condensation was the sudden appearance of a bimodal velocity distribution below the critical temperature of ~2µK.
Abstract: Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) has been observed in a dilute gas of sodium atoms. A Bose-Einstein condensate consists of a macroscopic population of the ground state of the system, and is a coherent state of matter. In an ideal gas, this phase transition is purely quantum-statistical. The study of BEC in weakly interacting systems which can be controlled and observed with precision holds the promise of revealing new macroscopic quantum phenomena that can be understood from first principles.

TL;DR: The concept of Anderson localization, that is, localization due to randomness, is one of the most interesting new concepts of contemporary physics as discussed by the authors, which pertains to the absence of diffusion in random materials as a result of interference of all the scattered waves.
Abstract: The concept of Anderson localization, that is, localization due to randomness, is one of the most interesting new concepts of contemporary physics.1 This strong type of localization pertains to the absence of diffusion in random materials as a result of interference of all the scattered waves. A precursor of Anderson localization, sometimes referred to as weak localization, concerning enhanced backseattering in a strongly scattering random medium, was first pointed out for electrons by Abrahams et al.2

TL;DR: An experimental scheme to create and probe optomechanical entanglement between a light field and a mechanical oscillator is proposed using a bright laser field that resonates inside a cavity and couples to the position and momentum of a moving (micro)mirror.
Abstract: In this paper we propose an experimental scheme to create and probe optomechanical entanglement between a light field and a mechanical oscillator. This is achieved using a bright laser field that resonates inside a cavity and couples to the position and momentum of a moving (micro)mirror.

TL;DR: This "Doppler cooling limit" results from the minimization of the detuning-dependent temperature at low laser power1.
Abstract: The generally accepted theory of laser cooling of free atoms predicts that the lowest achievable temperature is given by kaT = hγ/2, where kB is Boltzmann's constant arid γ is the natural linewidth of the transition for laser cooling. This "Doppler cooling limit" results from the minimization of the detuning-dependent temperature at low laser power1:

TL;DR: This work reports an almost ideal realization of Wheeler's delayed-choice gedanken experiment with single photons allowing unambiguous which-way measurements.
Abstract: We report an almost ideal realization of wheeler's "delayed-choice" experiment where the light pulses are true single photons, allowing unambiguous which-way measurements. The clock-triggered single-photon source at the heart of the experiment, previously developed for quantum key distribution, is based on the pulsed, optically excited photoluminescence of a single N-V colour centre in a diamond nanocrystal. This system, which consists in a substitutional nitrogen atom (N) associated to a vacancy (V) in an adjacent lattice site of the diamond crystalline matrix, has an unsurpassed efficiency and photostability at room temperature.
