Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 180401 (2002) [4 pages]Ramsey Fringes in a Bose-Einstein Condensate between Atoms and MoleculesReceived 24 April 2002; published 11 October 2002 In a recent experiment, a Feshbach scattering resonance was exploited to observe Ramsey fringes in a 85Rb Bose-Einstein condensate. The oscillation frequency corresponded to the binding energy of the molecular state. We show that the observations are remarkably consistent with predictions of a resonance field theory in which the fringes arise from oscillations between atoms and molecules. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
