Spatiotemporal interferometry for trapped atomic Bose-Einstein condensates
Abstract
We propose a spatiotemporal interferometric scheme based on near-field diffraction of Bose-Einstein condensates confined in a one-dimensional hard wall potential. The scheme is closely related to the phenomenon of intermode traces recently studied for noncondensed wave packets; we show how the scheme may be used in the detection of weak forces.
