    One of the readily accessible observables in trapped cold-atom experiments is the column density, which is determined from the optical depth (OD) obtained from absorption imaging and the absorption cross section (sabs). Here, we report on a simple and accurate determination of OD for dense gases of light atoms such as lithium-6. We investigate theoretically and experimentally an appropriate condition for the probe intensity and duration to achieve a good signal-to-noise ratio by considering the effects of photon recoils and photon shot noises. As a result, we have succeeded in measuring OD, which reached 2.5 with a signal-to-noise ratio of 10 under a spatial resolution of 1.7 mu m.

    The understanding of physical properties of fermions in the unitary regime, where the s-wave scattering length in the collisional channel of particles is longer than both the interparticle distance and the size of the interaction potential, is a crucial issue for electron systems of high-temperature superconductivity, dilute nucleons in nuclei, and neutron stars. We experimentally determine various thermodynamic quantities of interacting two-component fermions at the zero-temperature limit from the BCS region to the unitarity limit. The obtained results are very accurate in the sense that the systematic error is within 4% in the unitary regime. Using this advantage, we can compare our data with various many-body theories. We find that an extended T-matrix approximation, which is a strong-coupling theory involving fluctuations in the Cooper channel, well reproduces our experimental results. We also find that the superfluid order parameter. calculated by solving the ordinary BCS gap equation with the chemical potential of interacting fermions is close to the binding energy of the paired fermions directly observed in a spectroscopic experiment and that obtained using a quantum Monte Carlo method.

    We investigate thermodynamic properties and effects of quantum fluctuations in the Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS)–Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) crossover region of a superfluid Fermi gas in the low-temperature limit. Including strong-coupling corrections within the framework of an extended T-matrix approximation, we numerically compute the isothermal compressibility χn. While quantum fluctuation effects on χn in the strong-coupling BEC regime are explained by the quantum depletion due to a repulsive interaction between tightly bound molecules, effects of self-energy shift on the Fermi chemical potential are found to enhance χn in the weak-coupling BCS region. We also show that the calculated χn agrees well with the recent experiment on a 6Li Fermi gas done from the weak-coupling region to the unitarity limit. Our result would be useful for the study of many-body quantum corrections in the BCS–BEC crossover region of a strongly interacting Fermi superfluid.

    We theoretically present an economical and convenient way to study ground-state properties of a strongly interacting superfluid Fermi gas. Our strategy is that complicated strong-coupling calculations are used only to evaluate quantum fluctuation corrections to the chemical potential mu. Then, without any further strong-coupling calculations, we calculate the compressibility, sound velocity, internal energy, pressure, and Tan's contact, from the calculated mu without loss of accuracy, by using exact thermodynamic identities. Using a recent precise measurement of mu in a superfluid Li-6 Fermi gas, we show that an extended T-matrix approximation (ETMA) is suitable for our purpose, especially in the BCS-unitary regime, where our results indicate that many-body corrections are dominated by superfluid fluctuations. Since precise determinations of physical quantities are not always easy in cold Fermi gas physics, our approach would greatly reduce experimental and theoretical efforts toward the understanding of ground-state properties of this strongly interacting Fermi system.

  • All-optical production of dual Bose-Einstein condensates of paired fermions and bosons with Li-6 and Li-7 Reviewed

    We report the first all-optical production of dual Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) of paired Li-6 (fermion) and one spin state of Li-7 (boson) at the magnetic field where the s-wave interactions between fermions are resonant. Fermions are cooled efficiently by evaporative cooling and they serve as coolant for bosons. As a result, the dual condensates can be achieved by using a simple experimental apparatus and procedures, as in the case of the all-optical production of a single BEC. We show that the all-optical method enables us to realize variety of ultracold Bose-Fermi mixtures.

    Inter-particle interaction reaches maximum allowed by quantum mechanics at the unitarity limit. At the limit, thermodynamic properties of the system depend only on the temperature and density, but does not depend on any material-specific parameters. In this article, we describe the experimental determination of universal thermodynamics of an ultracold Fermi gas at the unitarity limit.

  • Measurement of an Efimov Trimer Binding Energy in a Three-Component Mixture of Li-6 Reviewed

    The binding energy of an Efimov trimer state was precisely determined via radio-frequency association. It is found that the measurement results shift significantly with temperature, but that the shift becomes negligible at the lowest temperature in our experiment. The shift-free part of the trimer binding energy reveals a significant deviation from the nonuniversal theory prediction based on a three-body parameter with a monotonic binding-energy dependence.

    We observed an enhanced atom-dimer loss due to the existence of Efimov states in a three-component mixture of Li-6 atoms. We measured the magnetic-field dependence of the atom-dimer loss in the mixture of atoms in state vertical bar 1 > and dimers formed in states vertical bar 2 > and vertical bar 3 >, and found two peaks corresponding to the degeneracy points of the energy levels of vertical bar 23 > dimers and the ground and first excited Efimov trimers. We found that the locations of these peaks disagree with universal theory predictions, in a way that cannot be explained by nonuniversal two-body properties. We constructed theoretical models that characterize the nonuniversal three-body physics of three-component Li-6 atoms in the low-energy domain.

    Thermodynamic properties of matter generally depend on the details of interactions between its constituent parts. However, in a unitary Fermi gas where the scattering length diverges, thermodynamics is determined through universal functions that depend only on the particle density and temperature. By using only the general form of the equation of state and the equation of force balance, we measured the local internal energy of the trapped gas as a function of these parameters. Other universal functions, such as those corresponding to the Helmholtz free energy, chemical potential, and entropy, were calculated through general thermodynamic relations. The critical parameters were also determined at the superfluid transition temperature. These results apply to all strongly interacting fermionic systems, including neutron stars and nuclear matter.

    We have demonstrated a novel atom interferometer which uses a free oscillation of 87Rb BEC atoms in a magnetic harmonic potential on an atom chip. This interferometer can effectively suppress the dephasing due to the trap potential by applying two Bragg laser pulses with an time interval T equal to the oscillation period of the axial mode of the magnetic trap. We observed a high contrast (∼30 %) interference fringe signal for T = 58 ms. When we increased the time interval T to 97 ms, an interference fringe was washed out by the random phase fluctuation. We attributed this phase fluctuation to the external vibrational noise from the floor. © 2009 IOP Publishing Ltd.

    We report on measurements of the critical temperature and the temperature dependence of the condensate fraction for a fermion pair condensate of (6)Li atoms. Bragg spectroscopy is employed to determine the critical temperature and the condensate fraction after a fast magnetic field ramp to the molecular side of the Feshbach resonance. Our measurements reveal evidence of level off of the critical temperature and limiting behavior of condensate fraction near the unitarity limit.

    We propose and demonstrate a novel trapped-condensate interferometer using optical Bragg diffractions in a harmonic magnetic potential, which can realize a long coherence time with low dephasing. Dephasing of wave packets due to the magnetic potential is canceled by setting the interrogation time equal to the oscillation period of the harmonic potential. The harmonic potential also helps to suppress dephasing due to condensate atom-atom interactions. An interference signal with a fringe contrast of 30% is observed at an interrogation time of 58 ms. For a longer interrogation time about 100 ms, the spatial coherence of the condensate is still maintained with low dephasing, although the interference fringe is washed out by external vibrational noise.

    We report the experimental observation of rectified momentum transport for a Bose-Einstein condensate kicked at the Talbot time (quantum resonance) by an optical standing wave. Atoms are initially prepared in a superposition of the 0 and -2hk(l) momentum states using an optical pi/2 pulse. By changing the relative phase of the superposed states, a momentum current in either direction along the standing wave may be produced. We offer an interpretation based on matter-wave interference, showing that the observed effect is uniquely quantum.

    A Mach-Zehnder-type atom interferometer with a Bose-Einstein condensate has been investigated on an atom chip by using optical Bragg diffraction. A phase shift and a contrast degradation, which depend on the atomic density and the trapping frequency of the magnetic-guide potential, have been observed. Also, the output wave packets were found to exhibit a spatial interference pattern. The atom-atom interaction and the guide potential induce the spatially inhomogeneous phase evolution of the wave packets in each arm of the interferometer. The observed contrast degradation can be quantitatively explained as a dephasing due to this inhomogeneous phase evolution.

    We have developed a simple method for the fast and efficient production of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) on an atom chip. By using a standard six-beam magneto-optical trap and light-induced atom desorption for loading, 3x10(7) Rb-87 atoms are collected within 1 s and loaded into a small-volume magnetic potential of the chip with high efficiency. With this method, a BEC of 3x10(3) atoms is realized within a total time of 3 s. We can realize a condensate of up to 2x10(4) atoms by reducing three-body collisions. The present system can be used as a fast and high-flux coherent matter-wave source for an atom interferometer.

    We have developed a simple magnetic transport method for the efficient loading of cold atoms into a magnetic trap. Laser-cooled Rb-87 atoms in a magneto-optical trap (MOT) are transferred to a quadrupole magnetic trap and they are then transported as far as 50 cm by moving magnetic trap coils with a low excess heating of atoms. A light induced atom desorption technique helps to reduce the collision loss during the magnetic transport. Using this method, we can load cold Rb-87 atoms into a magnetic trap in an ultra high vacuum chamber with high efficiency, and we can produce Rb-87 condensate atoms.

    Millimeter signal generation with high spectral purity and low phase fluctuations up to 100 GHz were demonstrated with an optical method in which two external-cavity laser diodes were phase-locked to an electro-optic modulator (EOM)-based optical frequency comb generator (OFCG). The additional phase noise caused from the cavity fluctuation in OFCG was completely canceled, and the phase noise of the heterodyne beat note of two LDs was determined only by that of the signal generator below offset frequency of 10 kHz. The detailed investigation of such a high frequency signal had never been done before, and the measured frequency of 100 GHz was limited only by the bandwidth of the phase noise detection system, and can be expanded up to more than 1 THz.
