Abstract
Ultraslow light has been used to form dramatic new nonlinear excitations in superfluid Bose-Einstein condensates of laser-cooled alkali atoms, and to create pulsed coherent matter waves. We describe these phenomena and a novel single-atom detector for use in studying the waves' coherence properties.
