摘要
We propose and experimentally investigate a scheme for observing Feshbach resonances in atomic quantum gases in situ and with a high temporal resolution of several tens of nanoseconds. The method is based on the detection of molecular ions, which are optically generated from atom pairs at small interatomic distances. As a test system we use a standard rubidium gas (Rb-87) with well known magnetically tunable Feshbach resonances. The fast speed and the high sensitivity of our detection scheme allows us to observe a complete Feshbach resonance within one millisecond and without destroying the gas.
