We report the formation of spin texture resulting from the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction in a spin-2 Rb-87 Bose-Einstein condensate. The spinor condensate is prepared in the transversely polarized spin state and the time evolution is observed...

We perform atom interferometry using the Zeeman sublevels of a spin-2 Bose-Einstein condensate of Rb-87. The observed fringes are strongly peaked, and fringe repetition rates higher than the fundamental Ramsey frequency are found in agreement with...
We demonstrate detection of a weak alternate-current magnetic field by application of the spin-echo technique to F = 2 Bose-Einstein condensates. A magnetic field sensitivity of 12 pT/root Hz is attained for an atom number of 5 x 10(3) at a spatia...
Radio-frequency pulses are applied to probe and control the Larmor precession of a spin-2 Bose-Einstein condensate subject to a magnetic field gradient. Using the techniques of Ramsey interferometry and Stern-Gerlach absorption imaging, a helical ...

We experimentally investigate the temporal characteristics of picosecond squeezed pulses generated via an optical parametric amplification in a periodically poled MgO:LiNbO3 waveguide. The noise variances for the various time delays between the sq...
