Matter-wave interferometry of ultra-cold atoms with attractive interactions is studied at the full many-body level. First, we study how a coherent light-pulse applied to an initially-condensed solitonic system splits it into two…

We report on an experimental study on the interaction of a high-contrast 40 fs duration 2.5 TW laser pulse with an argon cluster target. A high-charge, homogeneous, large divergence electron beam with moderate kinetic energy (~2 MeV) is…

Bragg Diffraction of matter waves is an established technique used in the most accurate quantum sensors. It is also the method of choice to operate large-momentum-transfer, high-sensitivity atom interferometers. It suffers, however, from an…

We report the first detection of the Higgs-type amplitude mode using Bragg spectroscopy in a strongly interacting condensate of ultracold atoms in an optical lattice. By the comparison of our experimental data with a spatially resolved,…

It is shown that homogeneous line-broadening in a diffuse cold atom cloud is proportional to the resonant optical depth of the cloud. Further, it is demonstrated how the strong directionality of the coherent interactions causes the cloud's…

The recent development of phase-grating moir\'e neutron interferometry promises a wide range of impactful experiments from dark-field imaging of material microstructure to precise measurements of fundamental constants. However, the contrast…

We demonstrate Bragg diffraction of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin and the dye molecule phthalocyanine at a thick optical grating. The observed patterns show a single dominant diffraction order with the expected dependence on the incidence…

The critical BEC temperature $T_{c}$ of a non interacting boson gas in a layered structure like those of cuprate superconductors is shown to have a minimum $T_{c,m}$, at a characteristic separation between planes $a_{m}$. It is shown that…

We have performed a principle-proof-experiment of a magneto-optical diffraction (MOD) technique that requires no energy level splitting by homogeneous magnetic field and a circularly polarized optical lattice, avoiding system errors in an…

Bragg diffraction of atoms by light waves has been used to create high momentum components in a Bose-Einstein condensate. Collisions between atoms from two distinct momentum wavepackets cause elastic scattering that can remove a significant…

In two-dimensional traps, since the theoretical study of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) will encounter the problem of divergence, the actual contribution of the divergent terms is often estimated in some indirect ways with the accuracy to…

We theoretically consider the effect of the atomic source's momentum width on the efficiency of Bragg mirrors and beamsplitters and, more generally, on the phase sensitivity of Bragg pulse atom interferometers. By numerical optimization, we…

We report Ramsey spectroscopy on the clock states of individual Cs impurities immersed in an ultracold Rb bath. We record both the interaction-driven phase evolution and the decay of fringe contrast of the Ramsey interference signal to…

We have studied the hydrodynamic flow in a Bose-Einstein condensate stirred by a macroscopic object, a blue detuned laser beam, using nondestructive {\em in situ} phase contrast imaging. A critical velocity for the onset of a pressure…

Grazing incidence fast atom diffraction at crystal surfaces (GIFAD or FAD) has demonstrated coherent diffraction both at effective energies close to one eV ($\lambda_\perp\approx$ 14 pm for He) and at elevated surface temperatures offering…

A hard-sphere (HS) Bose gas in a trap is investigated at finite temperatures in the weakly-interacting regime and its thermodynamic properties are evaluated using the static fluctuation approximation (SFA). The energies are calculated with…

Ultra-cold atomic gases provide new chance to study the universal critical behavior of phase transition. We study theoretically the matter wave interference for ultra-cold Bose gases in the critical regime. We demonstrate that the…

The use of retro-reflection in light-pulse atom interferometry under microgravity conditions naturally leads to a double-diffraction scheme. The two pairs of counterpropagating beams induce simultaneously transitions with opposite momentum…

We investigate the prospects of atomic interference using samples of Bose condensed atoms. First we show the ability of two independent Bose condensates to create an interference pattern, even if both condensates are described by Fock…

Holography is an optical technique enabling to record phase objects. Holographic interferometry uses this faculty to make a phase object interfere with a memory of itself at a preceding time, recorded on a hologram. Interference fringes…
