This paper examines the feasibility of constructing an experiment which detects the atomic stimulation of a photon emission process. A beam of atoms (bosons) in an excited state is passed over an atomic trap which traps the atoms when they…
We show that the phase difference of two overlapping ground state Bose-Einstein condensates can effect the optical spontaneous emission rate of excited atoms. Depending on the phase difference the atom stimulated spontaneous emission rate…
For bosons, the transition rate into an already occupied quantum state is enhanced by its occupation number: the effect of bosonic stimulation. Bosonic enhancement of light scattering has been predicted more than 30 years ago but has not…
We demonstrate that incoherent photon scattering by a Bose-Einstein condensate of non-ideal atomic gas is enhanced due to bosonic stimulation of spontaneous emission, similarly to coherent scattering in forward direction. Necessary initial…
We study the optical loading of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate by spontaneous emission of atoms in excited electronic state in the Boson-Accumulation Regime. We generalize the previous simplified analysis of ref. [Phys. Rev. A 53, 2466…
We find that inelastic collisional processes in Bose-Einstein condensates induce local variations of the mean-field interparticle interaction and are accompanied by the creation/annihilation of elementary excitation. The physical picture is…
We investigate the excited stationary states of Bose-Einstein condensates trapped in harmonic potentials. We derive simple analytical approximations of the first few eigenstates of the associated time-independent one-dimensional…
We study spontaneous directionality in the bosonic amplification of atom pairs emitted from an elongated Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), an effect analogous to `superradiant' emission of atom-photon pairs. Using a simplified model, we make…
We separate a Bose-Einstein condensate into an array of 2D sheets using a 1D optical lattice, and then excite quantized vibrational motion in the direction normal to the sheets. Collisions between atoms induce vibrational de-excitation,…
The author supposes a capability of transition doubly excited configurations of separate atoms to a superconducting state. The conditions of this transition are determined and the experiments for its detection are offered. The capability of…
The coherent and collective nature of Bose-Einstein condensate can enhance or suppress physical processes. Bosonic stimulation enhances scattering in already occupied states which leads to atom amplification, and the suppression of…
The Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of excited states, provides a different platform to explore the interplay between gravity and quantum physics. In this Letter, we study the response of excited-state BECs to an external gravitational field…
Surface modes in a Bose-Einstein condensate of sodium atoms have been studied. We observed excitations of standing and rotating quadrupolar and octopolar modes. The modes were excited with high spatial and temporal resolution using the…
We study the spontaneous emission of a partially excited Bose-Einstein condensate composed of two-level atoms. The formation of polaritons induced by the ground-state part of the condensate leads to an avoided crossing in the photon…
Nuclear processes can be stimulated by the presence of a macroscopic number of bosons in one of the final states. We describe the conditions necessary to observe the atom-stimulation of a beta decay process. The stimulation may be…
We study the behavior of a Bose-Einstein condensate held in an optical lattice. We first show how a self-trapping transition can be induced in the system by either increasing the number of atoms occupying a lattice site, or by raising the…
We study stimulated emission from an excited two-level atom coupled to a waveguide containing an incident single-photon pulse. We show that the strong photon correlation, as induced by the atom, plays a very important role in stimulated…
We experimentally and theoretically investigate the lowest-lying axial excitation of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate in a cylindrical box trap. By tuning the atomic density, we observe how the nature of the mode changes from a…
We study the onset of localization from excited states of trapped Bose- Einstein Condensates expanding in presence of Gaussian uncorrelated random disorder. In 1D systems, we observe that for a fixed ratio between the disorder strength and…
We discuss the dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a double-well trap subject to phase noise and particle loss. The phase coherence of a weakly-interacting condensate as well as the response to an external driving show a pronounced…
