Quantum Atom Optics and Single Atom Detection with Micro-Bose-Einstein Condensates. A Bose Einstein condensate (BEC) is a collection of atoms, all in the same quantum state, like the photons in a laser. It is now possible to create a micro-BEC and move it around on an 'atom chip'. We propose an experimental and theoretical study of its properties including those quantum statistical effects which will limit future ultra-sensitive measurement technologies such as quantum electromechanical transducers. We will develop methods to count small numbers of ultra-cold atoms, engineer their state and build a prototype device.

量子原子光学和微玻色爱因斯坦凝聚态单原子检测。玻色爱因斯坦凝聚 (BEC) 是原子的集合，所有原子都处于相同的量子态，就像激光中的光子一样。现在可以创建微型 BEC 并将其在“原子芯片”上移动。我们提出对其特性进行实验和理论研究，包括那些将限制未来超灵敏测量技术（例如量子机电换能器）的量子统计效应。我们将开发计算少量超冷原子的方法，设计它们的状态并构建原型设备。
