The potential (iz)^m generates real eigenvalues only, under symmetric rapid decay conditions
We consider the eigenvalue problems -u"(z) +/- (iz)^m u(z) = lambda u(z), m
>= 3, under every rapid decay boundary condition that is symmetric with respect
to the imaginary axis in the complex z-plane. We prove that the eigenvalues
lambda are all positive real.Comment: 23 pages and 1 figur
Atom interferometry with Bose-Einstein condensates in a double-well potential
A trapped-atom interferometer was demonstrated using gaseous Bose-Einstein
condensates coherently split by deforming an optical single-well potential into
a double-well potential. The relative phase between the two condensates was
determined from the spatial phase of the matter wave interference pattern
formed upon releasing the condensates from the separated potential wells.
Coherent phase evolution was observed for condensates held separated by 13
m for up to 5 ms and was controlled by applying ac Stark shift potentials
to either of the two separated condensates.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Monolithic arrays of surface emitting laser NOR logic devices
Monolithic, cascadable, laser-logic-device arrays have been realized and characterized. The monolithic surface-emitting laser logic (SELL) device consists of an AlGaAs superlattice lasing around 780 nm connected to a heterojunction phototransistor (HPT) in parallel and a resistor in series. Arrays up to 8×8 have been fabricated, and 2×2 arrays show uniform characteristics. The optical logic output is switched off with 40 μW incident optical input

Distillation of Bose-Einstein condensates in a double-well potential
Bose-Einstein condensates of sodium atoms, prepared in an optical dipole
trap, were distilled into a second empty dipole trap adjacent to the first one.
The distillation was driven by thermal atoms spilling over the potential
barrier separating the two wells and then forming a new condensate. This
process serves as a model system for metastability in condensates, provides a
test for quantum kinetic theories of condensate formation, and also represents
a novel technique for creating or replenishing condensates in new locations

Distribution of magnetic domain pinning fields in GaMnAs ferromagnetic films
Using the angular dependence of the planar Hall effect in GaMnAs
ferromagnetic films, we were able to determine the distribution of magnetic
domain pinning fields in this material. Interestingly, there is a major
difference between the pinning field distribution in as-grown and in annealed
films, the former showing a strikingly narrower distribution than the latter.
This conspicuous difference can be attributed to the degree of non-uniformity
of magnetic anisotropy in both types of films. This finding provides a better
understanding of the magnetic domain landscape in GaMnAs that has been the
subject of intense debate
