摘要：

Atom interferometers find a broad range of applications in precision measurements of physical quantities. In our experiment, we perform internal-­state interferometry with a pseudo spin-1/2 Bose Einstein condensate (BEC) of Rubidium-87 on an atom chip. The measurement precision is limited by the finite coherence time of the atoms, which restricts the interrogation time. I will present our work that investigates and confirms a new decoherence mechanism in such a two-component BEC, which sets a fundamental limitation to the temporal coherence in the atomic ensembles.

I will also present our recent experiment, which for the first time demonstrates Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox with two spatially separated many-particle systems. The EPR paradox was conceived in 1935 to demonstrate the conflict between quantum physics and the local realist description of nature that characterizes classical physics. In our experiment, we first entangle about 1400 atoms in a single condensate by engineering interatomic interactions. Subsequently, we split this entangled many-particle system into two halves and separated them spatially. Our technique allows us to individually address the collective spins of the two BECs, thereby realizing arbitrary spin measurements on the two systems. We observe strong correlations between the split systems, allowing us to demonstrate the paradoxical situation envisioned by EPR. The prepared EPR entanglement not only reveals the non-local character of quantum physics on a mesoscopic level, but also provides key resources in quantum metrology.
