Enhanced phase sensitivity and soliton formation in an integrated BEC interferometer
- We study the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates in time-dependent microtraps for the purpose of understanding the influence of the mean field interaction on the performance of interferometers. We identify conditions where the nonlinearity due to atom interactions increases the sensitivity of interferometers to a phase shift. This feature is connected with the adiabatic generation of a dark soliton. We analyse the robustness of this phenomenon with respect to thermal fluctuations, due to excited near fields in an electromagnetic surface trap
