Phys. Rev. A 63, 065601 (2001) [4 pages]Spatiotemporal interferometry for trapped atomic Bose-Einstein condensatesReceived 23 October 2000; published 7 May 2001 We propose a spatiotemporal interferometric scheme based on near-field diffraction of Bose-Einstein condensates confined in a one-dimensional hard wall potential. The scheme is closely related to the phenomenon of intermode traces recently studied for noncondensed wave packets; we show how the scheme may be used in the detection of weak forces. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
