Reducing number fluctuations of ultracold atomic gases via dispersive
interrogation

Bianca J. Sawyer, Amita B. Deb, Thomas McKellar, Niels Kjærgaard
We have used nondestructive laser probing to follow the central density evolution of a trapped atomic cloud during forced evaporative cooling. This was achieved in a heterodyne dispersive detection scheme. We propose to use this as a precursor measurement for predicting the atom number subsequent to evaporation and provide a simple experimental demonstration of the principle leading to a conditional reduction of classical number fluctuations.
