Delta-kicked rotor experiments with an all-optical BEC

This thesis deals with an investigation of the chaotic dynamics of an atom optics ��-kicked rotor (AOKR) system, a paradigm of classical and quantum chaos. The AOKR rotor is realized by subjecting a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of ������Rb atoms to a periodic potential. The potential in the for...
