Miniature Atom Interferometry

Team: Matthew Forward, Andrew Hinton, Jonathan Winch, Michael Holynski

Miniature atom interferometers are compact devices that use the wave nature of atoms to measure physical quantities such as acceleration, rotation, and gravity. They are based on the interference between matter waves and can achieve high precision measurements with a small size and low power consumption. These devices have potential applications in navigation, geodesy, and fundamental physics research. Recent developments have focused on increasing the sensitivity and robustness of the devices for practical use.
