Watching a superfluid untwist itself: Recurrence of Rabi oscillations in a Bose-Einstein condensate

  • 18 June 1999
Abstract
The order parameter of a spin-1/2 condensate can continuously distort in such a way as to remove twists that have been imposed along its length. We observe this effect experimentally in the collapse and recurrence of Rabi oscillations in a magnetically trapped, two-component Bose-Einstein condensate of ^87Rb.
