Antiferromagnetic spinor condensates in microwave dressing fields and optical lattices
Zhao, Lichao (2015-12)In this thesis, I present the design and construction of several experimental parts, e.g., a spin-flip Zeeman slower, a fast feedback circuit, and some magnetic field driving circuits. An efficient method of optimizing the ... -
Applications of the atom-optical kicked rotor
Shrestha, Rajendra Kumar (2013-05)This thesis reports on the experimental investigation of several applications of the atom-optical quantum kicked rotor (AOQKR) using a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of 87Rb atoms. The AOQKR was achieved by exposing a BEC ... -
Coherent interference effects and squeezed light generation in optomechanical systems
Qu, Kenan (2015-12)My Ph.D dissertation is on the fundamental effects in optomechanical systems (OMS) and their important applications. The OMS are based on the possibility of the mechanical motion produced by few photons incident on the ... -
Manipulating terahertz radiation using novel metamaterials towards functional passive and active devices
Chen, Yongyao (2012-07)Scope and Method of Study: The objective of this study is to explore the fundamental physics in novel metamatrials functioning in THz region, and to develop passive and active functional devices, such as filters, ... -
Non-equilibrium dynamics in lattice-confined antiferromagnetic spinor condensates
Chen, Zihe (2020-12)A spinor Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is a new state of matter with both magnetic order and superfluidity. It is highly controllable especially when combining with the optical lattices. Lattice-confined spinor BEC is an ... -
Phase Diagrams and Quantum Phase Transitions in Lattice-Confined Antiferromagnetic Spinor Bose-Einstein Condensates
Tang, Tao (2018-12-01)A spinor Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) confined in optical lattices has attracted much attention for its abilities to systematically study, verify, and optimize condensed matter models. In this dissertation, I present ... -
Quantum walks of a rubidium Bose-Einstein condensate and their applications
Clark, Jerry H. (2022-12)A quantum walk in momentum space with a rubidium spinor Bose-Einstein condensate was recently realized in our research group by applying a periodic kicking potential as a walk operator and a resonant microwave pulse as a ... -
Sodium spinor Bose-Einstein condensates: All-optical production and spin dynamics
Jiang, Jie (2015-12)In this thesis, I present a novel experimental system and an optimal experimental scheme for an all-optical production of a sodium spinor Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). With this scheme, I demonstrate that the number of ...
