Dark States and deBrogile Wave Optics

Abstract

The main thrust of this project is experiments with metastable helium atoms (He*) in dark states, entangled states, and other kinds of superpositions of motional and internal states. Also, the control of their motion by strong optical forces, exploiting non-monochromatic light. During the grant period we have made considerable progress toward these goals. Several experiments have worked, five doctoral theses have been completed, and a number of papers and conference proceedings have resulted.
