Quantum Interferometry with Bose-Einstein Condensates (QIBEC)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2015,

We propose to realize of a new class of interferometers based on entangled states of atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. These will have sensitivities beyond the shot-noise limit, potentially approaching the ultimate Heisenberg limit dictated by quantum mechanics. Our goal is to achieve an optimal control of the entanglement by means of novel experimental and theoretical tools to fully exploit its c ...
