High contrast interferometry and finite temperature coherence of Bose-Einstein condensates
This thesis outlines the main experimental results of a Bose-Einstein condensate(BEC) interferometer and the finite temperature coherence of elongated BECs. Cold atom and BEC-based interferometers take advantage of the wave nature of atoms as they are cooled and can be used for precision measurement...
