We developed a new atom interferometric force sensor using squeezed Rubidium-87 atoms in an optical lattice. This novel sensor utilizes phase slips for enhanced force detection capabilities.

Area of Science:

Atomic physics
Quantum optics
Sensor technology

Background:

Atom interferometry is a sensitive measurement technique.
Squeezed quantum states offer enhanced precision.
Optical lattices provide precise control over atomic ensembles.

Purpose of the Study:

To demonstrate a novel atom interferometric force sensor.
To investigate the use of squeezed-state arrays for sensing.
To explore phase slip phenomena in dynamic atomic systems.

Main Methods:

Utilizing a squeezed-state array of degenerate Rubidium-87 atoms.
Confining atoms in a one-dimensional optical lattice.
Modeling observations using the truncated Wigner approximation.
