Improve the performance of interferometer with ultra-cold atoms

Ultra-cold atoms provide ideal platforms for interferometry.The macroscopic matter-wave property of ultra-cold atoms leads to large coherent length and long coherent time,which enable high accuracy and sensitivity to measurement.Here,we review our efforts to improve the performance of the interferometer.We demonstrate a shortcut method for manipulating ultra-cold atoms in an optical lattice.Compared with traditional ones,this shortcut method can reduce the manipulation time by up to three orders of magnitude.We construct a matter-wave Ramsey interferometer for trapped motional quantum states and significantly increase its coherence time by one order of magnitude with an echo technique based on this method.Efforts have also been made to enhance the resolution by multimode scheme.Application of a noise-resilient multi-component interferometer shows that increasing the number of paths could sharpen the peaks in the time-domain interference fringes,which leads to a resolution nearly twice compared with that of a conventional double-path two-mode interferometer.With the shortcut method mentioned above,improvement of the momentum resolution could also be fulfilled,which leads to atomic momentum patterns less than 0.6hkL. To identify and remove systematic noises,we introduce the methods based on the principal component analysis (PCA) that reduce the noise in detection close to the 1/√2 of the photon-shot noise and separate and identify or even eliminate noises.Furthermore,we give a proposal to measure precisely the local gravity acceleration within a few centimeters based on our study of ultracold atoms in precision measurements.     

Observation of Two-Dimensional Mott Insulator and π-Superfluid Quantum Phase Transition in Shaking Optical Lattice

The Mott insulator and superfluid phase transition is one of the most prominent phenomena in ultracold atoms. We report the observation of a novel 2D quantum phase transition between the Mott insulator and πsuperfluid in a shaking optical lattice. In the deep optical lattice regime, the lowest S band can be tuned to Mott phase, while the higher Px,y bands are itinerant for having larger bandwidth. Through a shaking technique coupling the s-orbital to px,y-orbital states, we experimentally observ...

激光相位对空间构型光晶格中超冷原子干涉对比度的影响

利用功率反馈排除晶格阱深波动导致的不稳定性后,主要研究了激光在空间或介质中传输的相位波动对晶格中超冷原子对比度的影响。通过晃动光晶格,人为引入可控相位噪声来测量其对原子对比度的影响,发现不同强度的相位噪声对实验结果的影响显著不同。但是小强度的相位噪声对超冷原子干涉对比度的影响并不明显,目前干涉对比度的测量精度并不能完全反映出激光相位对冷原子系统相干性的影响,说明这种空间构型光晶格在捕获超冷原子方面具有较高的稳健性。所提出的激光相位锁定技术可以有效减少晶格系统中的相位噪声,为未来空间构型光晶格中更精密的测量提供了基础。
