It is based on the dissociation of a diatomic molecule with two temporally separated Feshbach pulses generating a motional state of two counter-propagating atoms that is capable of violating a Bell inequality by means of correlated single particle interferometry. We evaluate the influence of dispersion on the Bell correlation, showing it to be important but manageable in a proposed experimental setup. The latter employs a molecular BEC of fermionic Lithium atoms, uses laser-guided atom interferometry, and seems to be within the reach of present-day technology.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-01-13T13:11:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.67.Bg", "03.65.Ud", "03.75.Gg", "37.25.+k" ], "keywords": [ "bell test", "free motion", "material particles", "separated feshbach pulses generating", "correlated single particle interferometry" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2008, "month": "Dec", "volume": 101, "number": 26, "pages": 260503 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008PhRvL.101z0503G" } } }
