PhD students' seminar: Charlie Leprince

PhD students' seminar given by Charlie Leprince from the Quantum gases group, on 23 June 2022 at 1.15pm in the auditorium of the Institut d'Optique in Palaiseau, on the topic: "Quantum atom optics: experimental realization of an atom interferometer for a Bell inequality test."

Abstract: "The "Quantum Atom Optics" team at the Laboratoire Charles Fabry is specialized in the realization of Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) of metastable helium, used as reservoirs of coherent atoms. From a BEC we are able to emit pairs of atoms whose momenta are strongly correlated by using an optical lattice. These pairs are used as input of an interferometer which makes it possible to reproduce quantum optics experiments but using atoms. Our current goal consists in realizing an interferometer that would test the violation of Bell inequality. In this seminar I will present the interferometer and in particular the source of momentum correlated atoms."
