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…
Quantum Gas Mixtures and Dual-Species Atom Interferometry in Space
Ethan R. Elliott, David C. Aveline, Nicholas P. Bigelow +24
The capability to reach ultracold atomic temperatures in compact instruments has recently been extended into space. Ultracold temperatures amplify quantum effects, while free-fall…
NASA's Cold Atom Laboratory: Five Years of Quantum Science Operations in Space
Kamal Oudrhiri, James M. Kohel, Nate Harvey +37
NASA's Cold Atom Laboratory (CAL) is a multi-user science facility for studying quantum gases in the microgravity environment of the International Space Station. The persistent mic…
Exploring the limits of ultracold atoms in space
RJ Thompson, D. C. Aveline, Sheng-Wey Chiow +10
Existing space-based cold atom experiments have demonstrated the utility of microgravity for improvements in observation times and for minimizing the expansion energy and rate of a…
The Bose-Einstein Condensate and Cold Atom Laboratory
Kai Frye, Sven Abend, Wolfgang Bartosch +48
Microgravity eases several constraints limiting experiments with ultracold and condensed atoms on ground. It enables extended times of flight without suspension and eliminates the…
A compact high-flux cold atom beam source
J. R. Kellogg, D. Schlippert, J. M. Kohel +3
We report on an efficient and compact high-flux Cs atom beam source based on a retro-reflected two-dimensional magneto-optical trap (2D MOT). We realize an effective pushing field…
