An approach to bridging atom optics and bulk spin quantum computation
… in quantum computation and modern physics. Atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics, a centerpiece of modern physics, originated in the 1950's with the discovery of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), a field which has mostly been left behind in physics. However, NMR has recently taken yet …

Timekeeping and accelerometry with robust light pulse atom interferometers
Light pulse atom interferometry (LPAI) is a powerful technique for precision measurements of inertial forces and time. Laboratory LPAI systems currently achieve state-ofthe- art acceleration sensitivity and establish the international atomic time standard. However, the realization of practical LPAI …

Light pulse atom interferometry at short interrogation times for inertial navigation
Light pulse atom interferometry with cold atoms is a promising inertial sensing technology for high accuracy navigation. At present, laboratory atom interferometers match or surpass state of the art mechanical and optical inertial sensors in terms of sensitivity and long term stability. …

Quantum reflection of Bose-Einstein Condensates
Recent developments in atom optics have brought Bose-Einstein condensates within 1 pm of solid surfaces where the atom-surface interactions can no longer be ignored. At long- range, the atom-surface interaction is described by the weakly attractive Casimir-Polder potential which is classically …

Tune-out Wavelength Measurement and Gyroscope Using Dispersion Compensation in an Atom Interferometer
… how I used a three nanograting Mach-Zehnder atom beam interferometer to precisely measure a wavelength of light, known as a tune-out wavelength, that causes zero energy shift for an atom. I also describe how such measurements can be remarkably sensitive to rotation rates. It is well known …
