Description
The combination of laser-cooled atoms and precision spectroscopy enables highly precise instruments and sensors that are also fundamentally accurate. Our group specializes in designing these systems to be compact and ultimately transportable. Precision spectroscopy experiments in our labs have applications to clocks, inertial sensors, and tests of relativity and fundamental interactions. Two main project areas are (1) cold-atom coherent population trapping with application to accurate clocks and (2) atom interferometry experiments for measurements of inertial forces with applications to inertial navigation and precision measurements of relativistic effects.
