Four wave mixing with matter waves

I discuss analogs of four wave mixing and parametric downconversion experiments with deBroglie waves. We are able to demonstrate the production of atoms in correlated pairs. I will discuss prospects for using such systems to investigate entanglement of well separated atoms.

Mots clés: Bose Einstein condensates; correlated atoms

Domaines: Physique Quantique [quant-ph]
