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…

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…

Vector Atom Accelerometry in an Optical Lattice

Catie LeDesma, Kendall Mehling, Murray Holland

We experimentally demonstrate two multidimensional atom interferometers capable of measuring both the magnitude and direction of applied inertial forces. These interferometers do n…

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…

Application of Shaken Lattice Interferometry Based Sensors to Space Navigation

Margaret R. Rybak, Penina Axelrad, Catie LeDesma +2

High-sensitivity shaken lattice interferometry (SLI) based sensors have the potential to provide deep space missions with the ability to precisely measure non-gravitational perturb…
