Coherent atom-trimer conversion in a repulsive Bose-Einstein condensate
arXiv:quant-ph/0703247 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.99.133002
Abstract
We show that the use of a generalized atom-molecule dark state permits the enhanced coherent creation of triatomic molecules in a repulsive atomic Bose-Einstein condensate, with further enhancement being possible in the case of heteronuclear trimers via the constructive interference between two chemical reaction channels.
