Article overview

Optical detection of fractional particle number in an atomic Fermi-Dirac gas
Juha Javanainen ; Janne Ruostekoski ;
Date:	10 Oct 2003
Journal:	Phys Rev Lett, 91 (15), 150404
Abstract:	We study theoretically a Fermi-Dirac atomic gas in a one-dimensional optical lattice coupled to a coherent electromagnetic field with a topologically nontrivial soliton phase profile. We argue that the resulting fractional eigenvalues of the particle number operator can be detected via light scattering. This could be a truly quantum mechanical measurement of particle number fractionalization in a dilute atomic gas.
