Asymmetric Mach-Zehnder atom interferometers (1710.00020v6)

Published 29 Sep 2017 in physics.atom-ph

Abstract: It is shown that using beam splitters with non-equal wave vectors results in a new recoil diagram which is qualitatively different from the well-known diagram associated with the Mach-Zehnder atom interferometer. We predict a new asymmetric Mach-Zehnder atom interferometer (AMZAI) and study it when one uses a Raman beam splitter. The main feature is that the phase of AMZAI contains a quantum part proportional to the recoil frequency. A response sensitive only to the quantum phase was found. A new technique to measure the recoil frequency and fine structure constant is proposed and studied outside of the Raman-Nath approximation.
