Atom Interferometry with Transverse Optical Modes
Ryan Husband, Ryan J. Thomas, Yosri Ben-Aïcha +10
We experimentally demonstrate atom interferometry using the transverse phase profile of an optical mode. As proof-of-principle, we use the helical phase windings of Hypergeometric…

Probing short-range gravity using quantum reflection
J. Boynewicz, C. A. Sackett
Quantum reflection occurs when ultra-cold atoms are incident on a material surface with sufficiently low velocity. The reflecting matter wave can interfere with the incident wave t…

Beyond the semiclassical approximation in atom interferometry
W. LaRow, M. Edwards, C. A. Sackett
We describe a quantum perturbative approach to evaluating the phase shift of an atom interferometer in a weakly anharmonic trap. This provides a simple way to evaluate quantum corr…
