Multi Mode Interferometer for Guided Matter Waves

Quantum Physics 2009-11-07 v3

Abstract

We describe the fundamental features of an interferometer for guided matter waves based on Y-beam splitters and show that, in a quasi two-dimensional regime, such a device exhibits high contrast fringes even in a multi mode regime and fed from a thermal source.
