Probing short-range gravity using quantum reflection
J. Boynewicz, C. A. Sackett
Quantum reflection occurs when ultra-cold atoms are incident on a material surface with sufficiently low velocity. The reflecting matter wave can interfere with the incident wave t…

Beyond the semiclassical approximation in atom interferometry
W. LaRow, M. Edwards, C. A. Sackett
We describe a quantum perturbative approach to evaluating the phase shift of an atom interferometer in a weakly anharmonic trap. This provides a simple way to evaluate quantum corr…

Precise control of magnetic fields and optical polarization in a time-orbiting potential trap
A. J. Fallon, C. A. Sackett
A time orbiting potential trap confines neutral atoms in a rotating magnetic field. The rotation of the field can be useful for precision measurements, since it can average out som…
