Non-Abelian Atom Optics — •Andreas Jacob and Luis Santos — Institut für Theoretische Physik 3, Universität Stuttgart

We analyze the possibility to observe non-Abelian effects in the Atom Optics of cold atoms in optical lattices. After proposing realistic experimental schemes for the implementation of non-Abelian physics, we analyze the expansion of a Bose gas under non-Abelian conditions, showing the appearance of interference fringes. Additionally, we analyze non-Abelian Atom interferometers, and the effects of interactions in these arrangements.
