Atom Interferometer Gyroscope with Spin-Dependent Phase Shifts Induced by Light near a Tune-Out Wavelength

Raisa Trubko, James Greenberg, Michael T. St. Germaine +4

Tune-out wavelengths measured with an atom interferometer are sensitive to laboratory rotation rates because of the Sagnac effect, vector polarizability, and dispersion compensatio…

Measurements of the Ground-State Polarizabilities of Cs, Rb, and K using Atom Interferometry

Maxwell D. Gregoire, Ivan Hromada, William F. Holmgren +2

We measured the ground-state static electric-dipole polarizabilities of Cs, Rb, and K atoms using a three-nanograting Mach-Zehnder atom beam interferometer. Our measurements provid…

Atom optical shop testing of electrostatic lenses using an atom interferometer

Ivan Hromada, Raisa Trubko, William F. Holmgren +2

We used an atom interferometer for atom optical shop testing of lenses for atomic de Broglie waves. We measured focal lengths and spherical aberrations of electrostatic lenses in t…

Measurement of a magic-zero wavelength

William F. Holmgren, Raisa Trubko, Ivan Hromada +1

Light at a magic-zero wavelength causes zero energy shift for an atom. We measured the longest magic-zero wavelength for ground state potassium atoms to be $λ_\textrm{zero}=768.971…

Absolute and ratio measurements of the polarizability of Na, K, and Rb with an atom interferometer

William F. Holmgren, Melissa C. Revelle, Vincent P. A. Lonij +1

We measured the ground state electric dipole polarizability of sodium, potassium, and rubidium using a Mach-Zehnder atom interferometer with an electric field gradient. We find alp…

Magic ratio of window width to grating period for Van der Waals potential measurements using material gratings

Vincent P. A. Lonij, William F. Holmgren, Alexander D. Cronin

We report improved precision measurements of the Van der Waals potential strength () for Na atoms and a silicon-nitride (SiN) surface. We studied diffraction from nano-fab…
