Multiaxis inertial sensing with long-time point source atom interferometry.
We show that light-pulse atom interferometry with atomic point sources and spatially resolved detection enables multiaxis (two rotation, one acceleration) precision inertial sensing at long interrogation times. Using this method, we demonstrate a light-pulse atom interferometer for 87Rb with 1.4 cm peak wave packet separation and a duration of 2T=2.3 s. The inferred acceleration sensitivity of ...
متن کاملSensing Atomic Motion from the Zero Point to Room Temperature with Ultrafast Atom Interferometry.
We sense the motion of a trapped atomic ion using a sequence of state-dependent ultrafast momentum kicks. We use this atom interferometer to characterize a nearly pure quantum state with n=1 phonon and accurately measure thermal states ranging from near the zero-point energy to n[over ¯]~10^{4}, with the possibility of extending at least 100 times higher in energy. The complete energy range of ...
متن کاملA New Starting Point for Atom Interferometry
Interferometers using atoms rather than light can measure acceleration and rotation to high precision. Because atoms are slower than light, atom interferometers have the potential to reach greater inertial sensitivity than their optical counterparts. However, one of the main limitations in atomic interferometry has been discriminating the different contributions to the interference signal. Brig...
متن کاملPoint - source inertial particle dispersion
The dispersion of inertial particles continuously emitted from a point source is analytically investigated in the limit of small inertia. Our focus is on the evolution equation of the particle joint probability density function p(x,v, t), x and v being the particle position and velocity, respectively. For finite inertia, position and velocity variables are coupled, with the result that p(x,v, t...
متن کاملI.c.e.: an Ultra-cold Atom Source for Long-baseline Interferometric Inertial Sensors in Reduced Gravity
The accuracy and precision of current atom-interferometric inertial sensors rival state-of-theart conventional devices using artifact-based test masses1. Atomic sensors are well suited for fundamental measurements of gravito-inertial fields. The sensitivity required to test gravitational theories can be achieved by extending the baseline of the interferometer2. The I.C.E. (Interférométrie Cohér...
