Ultracold Atoms for Foundational Tests of Quantum Mechanics

Ultracold Atoms for Foundational Tests of Quantum Mechanics by Robert J. Lewis-Swan.

This thesis presents a theoretical investigation into the creation and exploitation of quantum correlations and entanglement among ultracold atoms. Specifically, it focuses on these non-classical effects in two contexts: (i) tests of local realism with massive particles, e.g., violations of a Bell i...
