Quantum noise in three-dimensional BEC interferometry
arXiv:1105.5493 · doi:10.1209/0295-5075/97/50003
Abstract
We develop a theory of quantum fluctuations and squeezing in a three-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate atom interferometer with nonlinear losses. We use stochastic equations in a truncated Wigner representation to treat quantum noise. Our approach includes the multi-mode spatial evolution of spinor components and describes the many-body dynamics of a mesoscopic quantum system.
