Raman coupling of Zeeman sublevels in an alkali-metal Bose-Einstein condensate
Raman coupling of Zeeman sublevels in an alkali-metal Bose-Einstein condensate
We investigate amplitude and phase control of the components of the spinor order parameter of a $^{87}\mathrm{Rb}$ Bose-Einstein condensate. By modeling the interaction of the multilevel atomic system with a pair of Raman-detuned laser pulses, we show that it is possible to construct a pulse-sequence protocol for producing a desired …
