There are three prominent directions in which the field of quantum
|
||||
optics of quantum gases has progressed in. First, the use of quantised
|
||||
light enables direct coupling to the quantum properties of the atoms
|
||||
\cite{mekhov2007prl, mekhov2007pra, mekhov2007NP, mekhov2012}. This
|
||||
allows us to probe the many-body system in a nondestructive manner and
|
||||
under certain conditions even perform quantum non-demolition (QND)
|
||||
measurements. QND measurements were originally developed in the
|
||||
context of quantum optics as a tool to measure a quantum system
|
||||
without significantly disturbing it \cite{braginsky1977, unruh1978,
|
||||
brune1990, brune1992}. This has naturally been extended into the
|
||||
realm of ultracold gases where such non-demolition schemes have been
|
||||
applied to both fermionic \cite{eckert2008qnd, roscilde2009} and
|
||||
bosonic systems \cite{hauke2013, rogers2014}. In this thesis, we
|
||||
consider light scattering in free space from a bosonic ultracold gas
|
||||
and show that there are many prominent features that go beyond
|
||||
classical optics. Even the scattering angular distribution is
|
||||
nontrivial with Bragg conditions that are significantly different from
|
||||
the classical case. Furthermore, we show that the direct coupling of
|
||||
quantised light to the atomic systems enables the nondestructive
|
||||
probing beyond a standard mean-field description. We demonstrate this
|
||||
by showing that the whole phase diagram of a disordered
|
||||
one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian, which consists of the
|
||||
superfluid, Mott insulating, and Bose glass phases, can be mapped from
|
||||
the properties of the scattered light. Additionally, we go beyond
|
||||
standard QND approaches, which only consider coupling to density
|
||||
observables, by also considering the direct coupling of the quantised
|
||||
light to the interference between neighbouring lattice sites. We show
|
||||
that not only is this possible to achieve in a nondestructive manner,
|
||||
it is also achieved without the need for single-site resolution. This
|
||||
is in contrast to the standard destructive time-of-flight measurements
|
||||
currently used to perform these measurements \cite{miyake2011}. Within
|
||||
a mean-field treatment this enables probing of the order parameter as
|
||||
well as matter-field quadratures and their squeezing. This can have an
|
||||
impact on atom-wave metrology and information processing in areas
|
||||
where quantum optics has already made progress, e.g.,~quantum imaging
|
||||
with pixellized sources of non-classical light \cite{golubev2010,
|
||||
kolobov1999}, as an optical lattice is a natural source of multimode
|
||||
nonclassical matter waves.

the effect of efficiency on the conditioned state was addressed in

Ref. \cite{mazzucchi2016njp} where it was shown that detector
|

efficiencies as low as 1\% are still capable of resolving the dynamics
|

to a good degree of accuracy and 10\% was sufficient for near unit

fidelity. However, this incredible result requires that the photon

scattering pattern is periodic in some way, e.g.~oscillatory as was

the case in Ref. \cite{mazzucchi2016njp} or constant. This way it is

correct phase of the oscillations or the rate for the case of a

constant scattering rate. In this thesis we deal predominantly with

these two cases so photodetector efficiency is not an issue.

The other issue is the heating of the trapped gas which will limit the

several hundred milliseconds have been achieved by for example using

molasses beams that simultaneously cool and trap the atoms
