English abstract:
We have realized a matter wave Mach-Zehnder interferometer on an atom chip. A Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is first coherently split in a double well potential, a tilt of the doulbe well imprints a relative phase between the two arms, the two modes are then diabatically recombined, before the population difference is measured.
