Ramsey Atom Interferometry with Transverse Optical Modes
Ryan Husband, Ryan J. Thomas, Yosri Ben-Aïcha +10
We experimentally demonstrate atom interferometry using the transverse phase profile of an optical mode. As proof-of-principle, we use the helical phase windings of Hypergeometric…
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…
A Perspective on Quantum Sensors from Basic Research to Commercial Applications
Eun Oh, Maxwell D. Gregoire, Adam T. Black +9
Quantum sensors represent a new generation of sensors with improved precision, accuracy, stability, and robustness to environmental effects compared to their classical predecessors…
Interferometry of Atomic Matter Waves in the Cold Atom Lab onboard the International Space Station
Jason R. Williams, Charles A. Sackett, Holger Ahlers +26
Ultracold atomic gases hold unique promise for space science by capitalizing on quantum advantages and extended freefall, afforded in a microgravity environment, to enable next-gen…
Modeling atom interferometry experiments with Bose-Einstein condensates in power-law potentials
S. Thomas, C. Sapp, C. Henry +4
Recent atom interferometry (AI) experiments involving Bose--Einstein condensates (BECs) have been conducted under extreme conditions of volume and interrogation time. Numerical sol…
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…
High precision measurement of the 87Rb D-line tune-out wavelength
R. H. Leonard, A. J. Fallon, C. A. Sackett +1
We report an experimental measurement of a light wavelength at which the ac electric polarizability equals zero for 87Rb atoms in the F=2 ground hyperfine state. The experiment use…
Effect of trap anharmonicity on a free-oscillation atom interferometer
R. H. Leonard, C. A. Sackett
A free-oscillation interferometer uses atoms confined in a harmonic trap. Bragg scattering from an off-resonant laser is used to split an atomic wave function into two separated pa…
Vacuum Pressure Measurements using a Magneto-Optical Trap
T. Arpornthip, C. A. Sackett, K. J. Hughes
The loading dynamics of an alkali-atom magneto-optical trap can be used as a reliable measure of vacuum pressure, with loading time T indicating a pressure less than or equal to [2…
A scalable Bose-Einstein condensate Sagnac interferometer in a linear trap
J. H. T. Burke, C. A. Sackett
We demonstrate a two-dimensional atom interferometer in a harmonic magnetic waveguide using a Bose-Einstein condensate. Such an interferometer could measure rotation using the Sagn…
