Polarisation structures present a largely untapped resource for light atom interactions. With state-of-the-art technology, light fields can be structured in their intensity, phase and polarisation, and our group has developed sophisticated techniques for the generation of such light.In this project we will imprint arbitrary vector light fields onto cold rubidium atoms, transferring optical structures to atomic quantum structures, or more specifically, optical polarisation to atomic spin structures. This will allow us to explore fundamental vectorial light-matter interaction. Unlike light, atoms are influenced by magnetic fields, gravity and acceleration, offering new avenues towards vector-enhanced sensors for magnetic and inertial forces.This project closely aligns with the EPSRC research themes "Light matter interaction and optical phenomena" and "Quantum devices components and systems", and more generally with the National Strategy for Quantum Technologies.

偏振结构为轻原子相互作用提供了一种尚未开发的资源。借助最先进的技术，光场可以在强度、相位和偏振方面进行结构化，我们的团队已经开发出产生这种光的复杂技术。在这个项目中，我们将把任意矢量光场压印到冷铷原子上，将光学结构转移到原子量子结构，或者更具体地说，将光学偏振转移到原子自旋结构。这将使我们能够探索基本的矢量光与物质相互作用。与光不同，原子受到磁场、重力和加速度的影响，为磁力和惯性力矢量增强传感器提供了新途径。该项目与 EPSRC 研究主题“光物质相互作用和光学现象”和“量子器件组件和系统”紧密结合，更广泛地与量子技术国家战略紧密结合。
