Optical Creation of Synthetic Microgravity for Quantum Degenerate Gases
Catie LeDesma, Kendall Mehling, Tristan Rojo +1
Microgravity environments provide unique opportunities for ultracold-atom experiments by enabling long interrogation times and reduced acceleration-induced dynamics. However, their…
High-Precision Phase Control of an Optical Lattice with up to 50 dB Noise Suppression
Kendall Mehling, Murray Holland, Catie LeDesma
An optical lattice is a periodic light crystal constructed from the standing-wave interference patterns of laser beams. It can be used to store and manipulate quantum degenerate at…
Demonstration of a programmable optical lattice atom interferometer
Catie LeDesma, Kendall Mehling, Jieqiu Shao +5
Performing interferometry in an optical lattice formed by standing waves of light offers potential advantages over its free-space equivalents since the atoms can be confined and ma…
Universal Gate Set for Optical Lattice Based Atom Interferometry
Catie LeDesma, Kendall Mehling, John Drew Wilson +2
In this paper, we propose a new paradigm for atom interferometry and demonstrate that there exists a universal set of atom optic components for inertial sensing. These components c…
