Coherent control of a single trapped Rydberg ion

Gerard Higgins, Fabian Pokorny, Chi Zhang +2

Trapped Rydberg ions are a promising novel approach to quantum computing and simulations. They are envisaged to combine the exquisite control of trapped ion qubits with the fast tw…

A single strontium Rydberg ion confined in a Paul trap

Gerard Higgins, Weibin Li, Fabian Pokorny +7

Trapped Rydberg ions are a promising new system for quantum information processing. They have the potential to join the precise quantum operations of trapped ions and the strong, l…

Sensitivity limits of a Raman atom interferometer as a gravity gradiometer

F. Sorrentino, Q. Bodart, L. Cacciapuoti +5

We evaluate the sensitivity of a dual cloud atom interferometer to the measurement of vertical gravity gradient. We study the influence of most relevant experimental parameters on…

Comparison of 3 absolute gravimeters based on different methods for the e-MASS project

A. Louchet-Chauvet, S. Merlet, Q. Bodart +5

We report on the comparison between three absolute gravimeters that took place in April 2010 at Laboratoire National de Métrologie et d'Essais. The three instruments (FG5#209 from…

Comparison between two mobile absolute gravimeters: optical versus atomic interferometers

S. Merlet, Q. Bodart, N. Malossi +4

We report a comparison between two absolute gravimeters: the LNE-SYRTE cold atoms gravimeter and FG5#220 of Leibniz Universität of Hannover. They rely on different principles of op…

A cold atom pyramidal gravimeter with a single laser beam

Quentin Bodart, Sébastien Merlet, Nicola Malossi +3

We demonstrate a scheme for realizing a compact cold atom gravimeter. The use of a hollow pyramidal configuration allows to achieve all functions: trapping, interferometer and dete…

Double diffraction in an atomic gravimeter

Nicola Malossi, Quentin Bodart, Sébastien Merlet +3

We demonstrate the realization of a new scheme for cold atom gravimetry based on the use of double diffraction beamsplitters recently demonstrated in \cite{Leveque}, where the use…

Operating an atom interferometer beyond its linear range

Sébastien Merlet, J. Le Gouët, Quentin Bodart +4

In this paper, we show that an atom interferometer inertial sensor, when associated to the auxiliary measurement of external vibrations, can be operated beyond its linear range and…
