Research abstract

ColdQuanta proposes to develop a MOT-based laser-cooled microwave atom clock prototype having a stability of at least 1E-12 for a 1 s integration time that can serve as a primary atomic frequency. Phase I focuses on the key challenges facing the development of a cold atom physics package commensurate with 1 liter total system size. We will design, build, and demonstrate an ultrahigh vacuum cell system having volume less than 150 cc and providing less than 5 ntorr vacuum level. The cell will provide high quality optical as well as microwave access to laser-cooled atoms.
