Research abstract

This work seeks to identify and analyze the major performance issues facing chip-based ultracold atom inertial sensors. Such sensors have enormous potential to provide unprecedented inertial sensing precision with competitive size, weight, and power consumption compared with optical and other technologies. Nevertheless, many potential issues affecting design performance are either not well explored and/or not fully understood. This Phase I effort specifically targets the identification and theoretical analysis of sources of decoherence and sensing errors specific to microchip atom interferometers. Phase I will provide theoretical underpinnings for further investigations and the design of miniature atom chip systems specifically aimed at ultracold atom chip-based inertial sensing research and development.
