Atom Interferometry

该项目涵盖原子干涉测量领域的两个主题。 第一个涉及改进原子干涉技术的发展，以期将其应用于高精度Sagnac效应陀螺仪的演示。 在第二个量子光学干涉测量技术将扩展到原子源。 目标是发展量子测量的新技术，使用直接原子计数方法来研究简并和混沌原子源的量子统计性质，并产生和表征简并费米源。

This project covers two themes in the field of atom interferometry. The first involves the development of improved atom interferometric techniques with a view toward applying them to the demonstration of a high precision Sagnac effect gyroscope. In the second quantum optics interferometry techniques will be extended to atomic sources. The goal is to develop new techniques in quantum measurement, to use direct atom counting methods to study the quantum statistical nature of degenerate and chaotic atomic sources, and to generate and characterize degenerate Fermi sources.
