Ultracold atom interferometry in space
Maike D. Lachmann, Holger Ahlers, Dennis Becker +21
Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in free fall constitute a promising source for space-borne matter-wave interferometry. Indeed, BECs enjoy a slowly expanding wave function, display…
Technologies for the ELGAR large scale atom interferometer array
B. Canuel, S. Abend, P. Amaro-Seoane +56
We proposed the European Laboratory for Gravitation and Atom-interferometric Research (ELGAR), an array of atom gradiometers aimed at studying space-time and gravitation with the p…
Generating 500 mW for laser cooling of strontium atoms by injection locking a high power laser diode
Vladimir Schkolnik, Jason R. Williams, Nan Yu
We report on the generation of 500 mW of spectrally pure laser light at the 460.86 nm transition used for laser cooling of strontium atoms. To this end we inject a high power singl…
High-Fidelity Entanglement and Detection of Alkaline-Earth Rydberg Atoms
Ivaylo S. Madjarov, Jacob P. Covey, Adam L. Shaw +7
Trapped neutral atoms have become a prominent platform for quantum science, where entanglement fidelity records have been set using highly-excited Rydberg states. However, controll…
An atomic array optical clock with single-atom readout
Ivaylo S. Madjarov, Alexandre Cooper, Adam L. Shaw +5
Currently, the most accurate and stable clocks use optical interrogation of either a single ion or an ensemble of neutral atoms confined in an optical lattice. Here, we demonstrate…
An extended-cavity diode laser at 497 nm for laser cooling and trapping of neutral strontium
Vladimir Schkolnik, Oliver Fartmann, Markus Krutzik
We present the first extended-cavity diode laser in Littrow configuration operating in the cyan wavelength range around 497 nm. The gallium-nitride based diode laser features a fre…
