A high-flux atomic strontium oven with light-driven flux modulation
Kenneth M. Hughes, Jesse S. Schelfhout, Charu Mishra +3
A high-flux source of strontium atoms is required for cold atom quantum technology applications. We present a re-entrant oven design that avoids the need for any vacuum feed-throug…

A single-photon large-momentum-transfer atom interferometry scheme for Sr or Yb atoms with application to determining the fine-structure constant
Jesse S. Schelfhout, Thomas M. Hird, Kenneth M. Hughes +1
The leading experimental determinations of the fine-structure constant, , currently rely on atomic photon-recoil measurements from Ramsey-Bordé atom interferometry with large mo…
