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…
The Future of Artificial Intelligence and the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (AI+MPS)
Andrew Ferguson, Marisa LaFleur, Lars Ruthotto +97
This community paper developed out of the NSF Workshop on the Future of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Mathematical and Physics Sciences (MPS), which was held in March 2025 w…
Group-Theoretic Reinforcement Learning of Dynamical Decoupling Sequences
Charles Marrder, Shuo Sun, Murray J. Holland
Dynamical decoupling seeks to mitigate phase decoherence in qubits by applying a carefully designed sequence of effectively instantaneous electromagnetic pulses. Although analytic…
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…
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…
