Summary
We will apply optimal control tools to prepare a family of different internal states of a rubidium Bose-Einstein condensate produced in an atom chip-based micro-trap [1] and employ quantum reconstruction techniques to analyze quantitatively thesestates [2]. Further we will use stochastic sequences of measurements tuning the probability distribution of the time intervals between consecutive measurements to mimic environment induced decoherence as a continuous monitoring from the environment (repetitive random measurements) [3].1] “Optimal preparation of quantum states on an atom-chip device”C.
