Two-particle Interference in Double Twin-atom-beams.

2020 
We demonstrate a highly efficient source for correlated pairs of atoms with equal but opposite momenta (twin atoms) using an integrated matter-wave circuit on an atom chip. The atom pairs are emitted into the ground state of two parallel matter waveguides of an elongated one-dimensional double-well potential (double twin-atom-beams). We characterize the state of the emitted twin-atom beams by observing strong number-squeezing up to -10 dB in the correlated modes of emission. We furthermore demonstrate genuine two-atom interference in the normalized second-order correlation function $g^{(2)}$ in the emitted atoms.
