Abstract: In this article, we propose a method to realize the "delayed choice experiment" using ultra-cold atoms. Here we attempt to probe the "welcher-Weg" information without collapsing the wavefunction of the atom. This experiment consists of components built around proven techniques that are put together in novel configuration to preserve the coherence of the system during the measurement. The Ramsey interference is used to establish the wave nature of the atom and the particle nature of the atom is probed by detecting its internal state by performing a nondemolition measurement using an ultra-high finesse cavity. The coherence of the atom is preserved by adjusting the atom-cavity interaction time such that the state of the atom is unchanged when it emerges out of the cavity.

Transferring vibrational states of trapped atoms via a Rydberg electron [41.94295877935867]
We show theoretically that it is possible to transfer vibrational excitation between trapped neutral atoms over a micrometer apart. We find that there is a "sweet spot" where the transfer of a vibrational excitation is nearly perfect and fast compared to the Rydberg lifetime.

Ultracold Neutrons in the Low Curvature Limit: Remarks on the post-Newtonian effects [49.1574468325115]
We apply a perturbative scheme to derive the non-relativistic Schr"odinger equation in curved spacetime. We calculate the next-to-leading order corrections to the neutron's energy spectrum. While the current precision for observations of ultracold neutrons may not yet enable to probe them, they could still be relevant in the future or in alternative circumstances.

Dissipative Dicke time crystals: an atoms' point of view [0.0]
We develop and study an atom-only description of the Dicke model with time-periodic couplings between atoms and a dissipative cavity mode. The cavity mode is eliminated giving rise to effective atom-atom interactions and dissipation. We show that the atom-only theory can describe the relaxation into such a dissipative time crystal and that the damping rate can be understood in terms of a cooling mechanism.

Coherence limits in lattice atom interferometry at the one-minute scale [0.0]
In atom interferometry, the non-classical state is a spatial superposition, where each atom coexists in multiple locations. In atom interferometers, the available interrogation time is limited to around 3 seconds for a 10 m fountain. Here, we realise an atom interferometer with a spatial superposition state that is maintained for as long as 70 seconds.

Dispersive readout of molecular spin qudits [68.8204255655161]
We study the physics of a magnetic molecule described by a "giant" spin with multiple $d > 2$ spin states. We derive an expression for the output modes in the dispersive regime of operation. We find that the measurement of the cavity transmission allows to uniquely determine the spin state of the qudits.

Visualizing spinon Fermi surfaces with time-dependent spectroscopy [62.997667081978825]
We propose applying time-dependent photo-emission spectroscopy, an established tool in solid state systems, in cold atom quantum simulators. We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.

Collective spontaneous emission of two entangled atoms near an oscillating mirror [50.591267188664666]
We consider the cooperative spontaneous emission of a system of two identical atoms, interacting with the electromagnetic field in the vacuum state. Using time-dependent theory, we investigate the spectrum of the radiation emitted by the two-atom system. We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.

Gravitational waves affect vacuum entanglement [68.8204255655161]
The entanglement harvesting protocol is an operational way to probe vacuum entanglement. Using this protocol, it is demonstrated that while the transition probability of an individual atom is unaffected by the presence of a gravitational wave, the entanglement harvested by two atoms depends sensitively on the frequency of the gravitational wave. This suggests that the entanglement signature left by a gravitational wave may be useful in characterizing its properties, and potentially useful in exploring the gravitational-wave memory effect and gravitational-wave induced decoherence.
