Matter-wave vortex N00N states by resonant excitation — •Lars Arne Schäfer and Reinhold Walser — TU Darmstadt, Germany

We study a gas of few interacting bosons in a ring trap that is superimposed with a freely programmable periodic azimuthal potential [1]. This highly controllable quantum system has been proposed as a platform for quantum simulation and sensing [2]. In contrast to angular momentum transfer from Gauss-Laguerre laser beams [3], we describe techniques to use the time-dependent programmable lattice potential. This will induce resonant excitations between angular momentum Fock states in the ring trap. As a specific application, we discuss the creation of the entangled N00N state | ψ⟩= 1√2 ( |2_-p, 0_p ⟩+ | 0_-p, 2_p ⟩), where the two modes are angular momentum eigenstates with k_{± p}.
