Experimental work on cold, trapped metastable noble gases is reviewed. The aspects which
distinguish work with these atoms from the large body of work on cold, trapped atoms in …

We study atom scattering from two colliding Bose-Einstein condensates using a position
sensitive, time resolved, single atom detector. In analogy to quantum optics, the process can …

The quantum dynamics of colliding Bose-Einstein condensates with 150 000 atoms are
simulated directly from the Hamiltonian using the stochastic positive-P method. Two-body …

Shock waves are examples of the far-from-equilibrium behavior of matter; they are
ubiquitous in nature, yet the underlying microscopic mechanisms behind their formation are …

In quantum many-body theory, all physical observables are described in terms of correlation
functions between particle creation or annihilation operators. Measurement of such …

We investigate polarization squeezing of ultrashort pulses in optical fiber, over a wide range
of input energies and fiber lengths. Comparisons are made between experimental data and …

Two-particle interference is a quintessential effect of quantum mechanics which is perhaps
most beautifully demonstrated by the Hong–Ou–Mandel effect. In this phenomenon, the …

We investigate the atom-optical analog of degenerate four-wave mixing by colliding two
Bose-Einstein condensates of metastable helium. The momentum distribution of the …

We propose and theoretically simulate an experiment for demonstrating a motional-state
Bell inequality violation for pairs of momentum-entangled atoms produced in Bose-Einstein …

We perform a theoretical analysis of atomic four-wave mixing via a collision of two Bose–
Einstein condensates of metastable helium atoms, and compare the results to a recent …
