Description

The use of continuous feedback control of the center of mass of a 1D trapped bosonic gas for probing atom-atom correlations is studied. Based on the Schwarz inequality an experimentally observable criterium for distinguishing between classical and truly quantum correlations is introduced. It is shown that thermal equilibrium states, including the case T = 0, will exhibit purely classical correlations
