Optomechanical inertial reference for atom interferometry

A. Rajagopalan, K. Stolzenberg, D. Thomas +5

Atom interferometers are among the most sensitive inertial sensors, yet deployment outside the laboratory is limited by vibration noise, conventionally mitigated by external sensor…

A high-flux source system for matter-wave interferometry exploiting tunable interactions

Alexander Herbst, Timothé Estrampes, Henning Albers +7

Atom interferometers allow determining inertial effects to high accuracy. Quantum-projection noise as well as systematic effects impose demands on large atomic flux as well as ultr…

Rapid generation of all-optical K Bose-Einstein condensates using a low-field Feshbach resonance

Alexander Herbst, Henning Albers, Knut Stolzenberg +2

Ultracold potassium is an interesting candidate for quantum technology applications and fundamental research as it allows controlling intra-atomic interactions via low-field magnet…

Red- and blue-detuned magneto-optical trapping with liquid crystal variable retarders

Baptist Piest, Vera Vollenkemper, Jonas Böhm +2

We exploit red- and blue-detuned magneto optical trapping (MOT) of Rb benefitting from a simplified setup based on liquid crystal variable retarders (LCVR). To maintain the…

All-Optical Matter-Wave Lens using Time-Averaged Potentials

H. Albers, R. Corgier, A. Herbst +11

The stability of matter-wave sensors benefits from interrogating large-particle-number atomic ensembles at high cycle rates. The use of quantum-degenerate gases with their low effe…

Quantum test of the Universality of Free Fall using rubidium and potassium

H. Albers, A. Herbst, L. L. Richardson +11

We report on an improved test of the Universality of Free Fall using a rubidium-potassium dual-species matter wave interferometer. We describe our apparatus and detail challenges a…
