Ultracold atoms for foundational tests of quantum mechanics[electronic resource] /by Robert J. Lewis-Swan. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2016. - xvi, 156 p. :ill. (some col.), digital ;24 cm. - Springer theses,2190-5053. - Springer theses..

Introduction -- Background I: Physical Systems -- Background II: Phase-space Methods -- Proposal for Demonstrating the Hong-Ou-Mandel Eﬀect with Matter Waves -- Proposal for a Motional-state Bell Inequality Test with Ultracold Atoms -- Sensitivity to Thermal Noise of Atomic Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Entanglement -- An Atomic SU(1,1) Interferometer Via Spin-changing Collisions -- On the Relation of the Particle Number Distribution of Stochastic Wigner Trajectories and Experimental Realizations -- Conclusion.

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 inequality and the EPR paradox, and (ii) realization of quantum technology by exploitation of entanglement, for example quantum-enhanced metrology. In particular, the work presented in this thesis emphasizes the possibility of demonstrating and characterizing entanglement in realistic experiments, beyond the simple "toy-models" often discussed in the literature. The importance and relevance of this thesis are reflected in a spate of recent publications regarding experimental demonstrations of the atomic Hong-Ou-Mandel effect, observation of EPR entanglement with massive particles and a demonstration of an atomic SU(1,1) interferometer. With a separate chapter on each of these systems, this thesis is at the forefront of current research in ultracold atomic physics.
