Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 180403 (2004) [4 pages]Interference of an Array of Independent Bose-Einstein CondensatesReceived 19 May 2004; published 26 October 2004 We have observed high-contrast matter wave interference between 30 Bose-Einstein condensates with uncorrelated phases. Interferences were observed after the independent condensates were released from a one-dimensional optical lattice and allowed to overlap. This phenomenon is explained with a simple theoretical model, which generalizes the analysis of the interference of two condensates. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
