Abstract
The evolution of Bose-Einstein condensates falling under gravity and bouncing off a mirror formed by a far-blue-detuned sheet of light is studied. After reflection, the atomic density profile develops splitting and interference structures, which depend on the drop height, on the strength of the light sheet, and on the initial mean field energy and size of the condensate. Experimental results are compared with simulations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. A comparison with the behavior of bouncing thermal clouds allows the identification of quantum features specific to condensates.
