A robust, high-flux source of laser-cooled ytterbium atoms
E. Wodey, R. J. Rengelink, C. Meiners +2
We present a high-flux source of cold ytterbium atoms that is robust, lightweight and low-maintenance. Our apparatus delivers atoms/s into a 3D magneto-optical trap without…
A scalable high-performance magnetic shield for Very Long Baseline Atom Interferometry
E. Wodey, D. Tell, E. M. Rasel +11
We report on the design, construction, and characterization of a 10 m-long high-performance magnetic shield for Very Long Baseline Atom Interferometry (VLBAI). We achieve residual…
Matter Wave Interferometry for Inertial Sensing and Tests of Fundamental Physics
D. Schlippert, C. Meiners, R. J. Rengelink +6
Very Long Baseline Atom Interferometry (VLBAI) corresponds to ground-based atomic matter-wave interferometry on large scales in space and time, letting the atomic wave functions in…
Optomechanical resonator-enhanced atom interferometry
L. L. Richardson, D. Nath, A. Rajagopalan +16
Matter-wave interferometry and spectroscopy of optomechanical resonators offer complementary advantages. Interferometry with cold atoms is employed for accurate and long-term stabl…
