gMOT - Magneto optical trap system for cold atom technologies

该项目旨在提供一种用于便携式冷原子技术和市场的微型、集成磁光陷阱(MOT)室。开尔文纳米技术公司、TMD技术公司以及斯特拉斯克莱德大学和格拉斯哥大学联手创造了一种通用微型冷原子陷阱设备，用于可部署的基于原子的量子技术，该设备将建立在合作伙伴开发的关键工艺的基础上。这些工艺包括衍射光学设计和制造、创新的键合和密封方法、物理封装、复杂的碱金属蒸气填充技术和性能评估方法。将这些单独的技术集成到一个高功能和低成本的系统中，将使工业用户能够进行严格的测试和鉴定，以便在各种应用和市场的下一代量子技术系统中进行部署。

The project aims to deliver a miniature, integrated magneto optical trap (MOT) chamber for use in portable cold atom technologies and markets. Kelvin Nanotechnology, TMD Technologies and the Universities of Strathclyde and Glasgow have teamed up to create a universal miniature cold atom trap device for deployable atomic based quantum technologies that will build on key processes developed by the partners. These processes include diffractive optics design and fabrication, innovative bonding and sealing methods, physics package encapsulation, complex alkali metal vapour filling techniques and performance evaluation methodologies. Integrating these individual technologies into a highly functional and low cost system will enable rigorous testing and qualification by industrial users for deployment in next generation quantum technology systems in a wide variety of applications and markets.
