Correlated directional atomic clouds via four-heterowave mixing

Quantum Physics 2010-03-19 v1 Quantum Gases

Abstract

We investigate the coherence properties of pairs of counter-propagating atomic clouds, produced in superradiant Rayleigh scattering off atomic condensates. It is shown that these clouds exhibit long-range spatial coherence and strong nonclassical density cross-correlations, which make this scheme a promising candidate for the production of highly directional nonclassically correlated atomic pulses.
