Producing a substantial and stable resonant Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) has proven to be a challenging experimental task due to heating and three-body losses that may occur even before the gas comes to thermal equilibrium. In this paper, by considering only two-body correlations, we note that a sudden quench from small to large scattering lengths may not be the best way to prepare a resonant BEC. As an alternative, we propose a two-step scheme that involves an intermediate scattering length, between $0$ and $infty$, which serves to maximize the transfer probability of $N$ bosons of mass $m$ in a harmonic trap with frequency $omega$. We find that the intermediate scattering length should be $aapprox3.16N^{-2/3}sqrt{hbar/(momega)}$ to produce an optimum transition probability of $1.03N^{-1/6}$.

Under the Thomas-Fermi approximation, a relatively much simpler analytical solutions of the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations for the two-species BEC have been derived. Additionally, a model for the asymmetric states has been proposed, and the compe
tition between the symmetric and asymmetric states has been evaluated. The whole parameter-space is divided into zones, each supports a specific phase, namely, the symmetric miscible phase, the symmetric immiscible phase, or the asymmetric phase. Based on the division the phase-diagrams against any set of parameters can be plotted. Thereby, the effects of these parameters can be visualized. There are three critical values in the inter-species interaction $% V_{AB} $ and one in the ratio of particle numbers $N_{A}/N_{B}$. They govern the transitions between the phases. Two cases, (i) the repulsive $V_{AB}$ matches the repulsive $% V_{A}+V_{B}$, and (ii) the attractive $V_{AB}$ nearly cancels the effect of the repulsive $V_{A}+V_{B}$ have been particularly taken into account. The former leads to a complete separation of the two kinds of atoms , while the latter lead to a collapse. Finally, based on an equation derived in the paper, a convenient experimental approach is proposed to determine the ratio of particle numbers .
We experimentally and theoretically study phase coherence in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates of $^{87}{rm Rb}$ atoms on an atom chip. Using Ramsey interferometry we measure the temporal decay of coherence between the $|F=1,m_{F}=-1rangle$ and
$|F=2,m_{F}=+1rangle$ hyperfine ground states. We observe that the coherence is limited by random collisional phase shifts due to the stochastic nature of atom loss. The mechanism is confirmed quantitatively by a quantum trajectory method based on a master equation which takes into account collisional interactions, atom number fluctuations, and losses in the system. This decoherence process can be slowed down by reducing the density of the condensate. Our findings are relevant for experiments on quantum metrology and many-particle entanglement with Bose-Einstein condensates and the development of chip-based atomic clocks.
Atom interferometers covering macroscopic domains of space-time are a spectacular manifestation of the wave nature of matter. Due to their unique coherence properties, Bose-Einstein condensates are ideal sources for an atom interferometer in extended
free fall. In this paper we report on the realization of an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer operated with a Bose-Einstein condensate in microgravity. The resulting interference pattern is similar to the one in the far-field of a double-slit and shows a linear scaling with the time the wave packets expand. We employ delta-kick cooling in order to enhance the signal and extend our atom interferometer. Our experiments demonstrate the high potential of interferometers operated with quantum gases for probing the fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics and general relativity.
We report on the all-optical production of Bose-Einstein condensates in microgravity using a combination of grey molasses cooling, light-shift engineering and optical trapping in a painted potential. Forced evaporative cooling in a 3-m high Einstein
elevator results in $4 times 10^4$ condensed atoms every 13.5 s, with a temperature as low as 35 nK. In this system, the atomic cloud can expand in weightlessness for up to 400 ms, paving the way for atom interferometry experiments with extended interrogation times and studies of ultra-cold matter physics at low energies on ground or in Space.
The density profiles of trapped two-component Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) and its microscopic interaction with Laguerre Gaussian (LG) beam are studied. We consider the $^{87}$Rb BEC in two hyperfine spin components. The wavelength of the LG beam
is assumed to be comparable to the atomic de-Broglie wavelength. Competitions between intra- and inter-component interactions produce interesting density structures of the ground state of BEC. We demonstrate vortex-antivortex interference and its dependence on the inter-component interactions and Raman transitions.
