Probing the spatial distribution of <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>k</mml:mi> </mml:math> -vectors <i>in situ</i> with Bose-Einstein condensates
The authors present a method that uses a Bose--Einstein condensate as a local probe to map, in situ, the photon momentum across a laser beam, revealing a striking extra-recoil. This approach offers a powerful tool for evaluating systematics due to wavefront distortions in atom interferometry.
