Molecule formation as a diagnostic tool for second order correlations of ultra-cold gases (2004)
Meiser, D., Search, C. P., Meystre, P.
We calculate the momentum distribution and the second-order correlation function in momentum space, $g^{(2)}({\bf p},{\bf p}',t)$ for molecular dimers that are coherently formed from an ultracold...
Phase Coherence in a Driven Double-Well System (2004)
Miyakawa, T., Search, C. P., Meystre, P.
We analyze the dynamics of the molecular field incoherently pumped by the photoassociation of fermionic atoms and coupled by quantum tunnelling in a double-well potential. The relative phase...
Diffraction of ultra-cold fermions by quantized light fields: Standing versus traveling waves (2004)
Meiser, D., Search, C. P., Meystre, P.
We study the diffraction of quantum degenerate fermionic atoms off of quantized light fields in an optical cavity. We compare the case of a linear cavity with standing wave modes to that of a ring...
Four-Wave mixing in degenerate Fermi gases: Beyond the undepleted pump approximation (2003)
Miyakawa, T., Christ, H., Search, C. P., Meystre, P.
We analyze the full nonlinear dynamics of the four-wave mixing between an incident beam of fermions and a fermionic density grating. We find that when the number of atoms in the beam is comparable to...
Dynamics of Fermionic Four-Wave Mixing (2002)
Christ, H., Search, C. P., Meystre, P.
We study the dynamics of a beam of fermions diffracted off a density grating formed by fermionic atoms in the limit of a large grating. An exact description of the system in terms of particle-hole...
Input-output theory for fermions in an atom cavity (2002)
Search, C. P., Poetting, S., Zhang, W., Meystre, P.
We generalize the quantum optical input-output theory developed for optical cavities to ultracold fermionic atoms confined in a trapping potential, which forms an "atom cavity". In order to account...
Search, C. P., Pu, H., Zhang, W., Meystre, P.
The quasiparticle excitations and dynamical stability of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate coupled to a quantum degenerate Fermi gas of atoms at zero temperature is studied. The Fermi gas is assumed...
Search, C. P., Pu, H., Zhang, W., Anderson, B. P., Meystre, P.
We examine the effect of the trapping potential on the critical temperature, $T_C$, for the BCS transition to a superfluid state in trapped atomic gases of fermions. $T_C$ for an arbitrary power law...
Diffraction of a superfluid Fermi gas by an atomic grating (2001)
Search, C. P., Pu, H., Zhang, W., Meystre, P.
An atomic grating generated by a pulsed standing wave laser field is proposed to manipulate the superfluid state in a quantum degenerate gas of fermionic atoms. We show that in the presence of atomic...
Manipulating the Speed of Sound in a Two-Component Bose-Einstein Condensate (2000)
We consider a two-component weakly interacting Bose-Einstein condensate in the presence of an external field which couples the two components. We express the Hamiltonian in terms of the energy...
Ground State and Quasiparticle Spectrum of a Two Component Bose-Einstein Condensate (2000)
Search, C. P., Rojo, A. G., Berman, P. R.
We consider a dilute atomic Bose-Einstein condensate with two non-degenerate internal energy levels. The presence of an external radiation field can result in new ground states for the condensate...
Recoil-Induced-Resonances in Nonlinear, Ground-State, Pump-Probe Spectroscopy (2000)
A theory of pump-probe spectroscopy is developed in which optical fields drive two-photon Raman transitions between ground states of an ensemble of three-level $\Lambda $ atoms. Effects related to...
Recoil-Induced-Resonances in Nonlinear, Ground-State, Pump-Probe Spectroscopy (1998)
A theory of pump-probe spectroscopy is developed in which optical fields drive two-photon Raman transitions between ground states of an ensemble of three-level atoms. Effects related to the recoil...
