These upcoming vertical sensors are inherently subject to gravity and thus feature gradiometer or multi-gradiometer configurations using single-photon transitions for large momentum transfer. While there has been significant progress on optimizing these experiments against detrimental noise sources and for deployment at their projected sites, finding optimal configurations that make the best use of the available resources is still an open issue. Even more, the fundamental limit of the device's sensitivity is still missing. Here, we fill this gap and show that (a) resonant-mode detectors based on multi-diamond fountain gradiometers achieve the optimal, shot-noise limited, sensitivity if their height constitutes 20{\%} of the available baseline; (b) this limit is independent of the dark matter oscillation frequency; and (c) doubling the baseline decreases the ultimate measurement uncertainty by approximately 65{\%}. Moreover, we propose a multi-diamond scheme with less mirror pulses where the leading-order gravitational phase contribution is suppressed and compare it to established geometries and demonstrate that both configurations saturate the same fundamental limit.}, year = {2024}, month = {1}, reviewed = {1}, DOI = {10.1116/5.0175683}, journal = {AVS Quantum Science}, volume = {6} } @Article { bott_atomic_2023, author = {Bott, A. and Di Pumpo, F. and Giese, E.}, title = {Atomic diffraction from single-photon transitions in gravity and Standard-Model extensions}, abstract = {Single-photon transitions are one of the key technologies for designing and operating very-long-baseline atom interferometers tailored for terrestrial gravitational-wave and dark-matter detection. Since such setups aim at the detection of relativistic and beyond-Standard-Model physics, the analysis of interferometric phases as well as of atomic diffraction must be performed to this precision and including these effects. In contrast, most treatments focused on idealized diffraction so far. Here, we study single-photon transitions, both magnetically induced and direct ones, in gravity and Standard-Model extensions modeling dark matter as well as Einstein-equivalence-principle violations. We take into account relativistic effects like the coupling of internal to center-of-mass degrees of freedom, induced by the mass defect, as well as the gravitational redshift of the diffracting light pulse. To this end, we also include chirping of the light pulse required by terrestrial setups, as well as its associated modified momentum transfer for single-photon transitions.}, year = {2023}, month = {11}, DOI = {10.1116/5.0174258}, journal = {AVS Quantum Science}, volume = {5} } @Article { 390215248141_2023, author = {Gleisberg, F. and Schleich, W.

Articles cover advances in the generation and manipulation of state-of-the-art quantum light sources along with applications to sensing, spectroscopy, imaging and interferometry.}, year = {2020}, month = {3}, day = {16}, DOI = {10.1088/1361-6455/ab69a8}, journal = {J.

Our approach employs entangled photons created by spontaneous parametric downconversion from a pump mode in a TEM01 mode together with a double slit. Measuring the interference of the signal photons behind the double slit in coincidence with the entangled idler photons at different positions, we select signal photons of different mode functions. When the signal photons belong to the TEM01-like double-hump mode, we obtain almost perfect visibility of the interference fringes, and no ``which slit'' information is available in the idler photon detected before the slits. This result is remarkable because the entangled signal and idler photon pairs are created each time in only one of the two intensity humps. However, when we break the symmetry between the two maxima of the signal photon mode structure, the paths through the slits for these additional photons become distinguishable and the visibility vanishes. It is the mode function of the photons selected by the detection system that decides if interference or ``which slit'' information is accessible in the experiment.}, year = {2019}, month = {Jun}, DOI = {10.1364/JOSAB.36.001668}, journal = {J.

In microgravity the situation is fundamentally different because the dynamics is entirely determined by the repulsive interaction between the atoms and not by the gravitational force. As a result, the output of a space atom laser is a spherical wave slowly expanding away from the initial BEC. We present a thorough theoretical study of this new source of matter waves based on rf outcoupling which exhibits an isotropic distribution both in position and momentum even for an initially anisotropic trap. The unique geometry of such a freely expanding, shell-shaped BEC offers new possibilities for matter waves in microgravity and is complementary to other matter-wave sources prepared by delta-kick collimation or adiabatic expansion.

To that end, Marlan Scully has asked at several international conferences (the 2015 Prague conference being one of them) the following question: “Starting with the density matrix (not the Moyal characteristic function), could you give me a simple direct derivation of the Wigner distribution?” Section contains his answer. In Appendix D, we give a related treatment and make contact with other approaches. We hope that as a result of our studies, the Wigner distribution will become more deeply appreciated.}, year = {2017}, DOI = {10.1002/prop.201600092}, journal = {Fortschritte der Physik}, volume = {65}, pages = {1600092}, number = {6-8}, keywords = {Phase space quantum mechanics, Wigner Weyl distribution, Wigner Weyl symmetric ordering, Weyl and its inverse transform, operator symbol correspondence}, file_url = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/prop.201600092} } @Article { doi:10.1002/prop.201700015, author = {Bohm, A. and Bryant, P.

What is the fundamental relation between quantum physics and gravity? Ground-based experiments addressing these questions may soon face limitations due to limited free-fall times and the quality of vacuum and microgravity. The proposed mission Macroscopic Quantum Resonators (MAQRO) may overcome these limitations and allow addressing such fundamental questions. MAQRO harnesses recent developments in quantum optomechanics, high-mass matter-wave interferometry as well as state-of-the-art space technology to push macroscopic quantum experiments towards their ultimate performance limits and to open new horizons for applying quantum technology in space. The main scientific goal is to probe the vastly unexplored 'quantum-classical' transition for increasingly massive objects, testing the predictions of quantum theory for objects in a size and mass regime unachievable in ground-based experiments. The hardware will largely be based on available space technology. Here, we present the MAQRO proposal submitted in response to the 4th Cosmic Vision call for a medium-sized mission (M4) in 2014 of the European Space Agency (ESA) with a possible launch in 2025, and we review the progress with respect to the original MAQRO proposal for the 3rd Cosmic Vision call for a medium-sized mission (M3) in 2010. In particular, the updated proposal overcomes several critical issues of the original proposal by relying on established experimental techniques from high-mass matter-wave interferometry and by introducing novel ideas for particle loading and manipulation.

Due to rotations and gravity gradients, the classical trajectories characterizing the motion of the wave packets for the two branches of the interferometer do not close in phase space, an effect which increases significantly with the interferometer time. The relative displacement between the interfering wave packets in such open interferometers leads to a fringe pattern in the density profile at each exit port and a loss of contrast in the oscillations of the integrated particle number as a function of the phase shift. Paying particular attention to gravity gradients, we present a simple mitigation strategy involving small changes in the timing of the laser pulses which is very easy to implement. A useful representation-free description of the state evolution in an atom interferometer is introduced and employed to analyze the loss of contrast and mitigation strategy in the general case. (As a by-product, a remarkably compact derivation of the phase-shift in a general light-pulse atom interferometer is provided.) Furthermore, exact results are obtained for (pure and mixed) Gaussian states which allow a simple interpretation in terms of the alignment of Wigner functions in phase-space. Analytical results are also obtained for expanding Bose–Einstein condensates within the time-dependent Thomas–Fermi approximation. Finally, a combined strategy for rotations and nonaligned gravity gradients is considered as well.}, year = {2014}, month = {dec}, DOI = {10.1088/1367-2630/16/12/123012}, journal = {New Journal of Physics}, volume = {16}, publisher = {\{IOP\} Publishing}, pages = {123012}, number = {12}, file_url = {https://doi.org/10.1088{\%}2F1367-2630{\%}2F16{\%}2F12{\%}2F123012} } @Article { Neuberger_2014, author = {Neuberger, J.

With the miniaturization of information-storage and -processing devices, the scale of single atoms is approached in solid state devices, where the laws of quantum physics lead to novel, advantageous features and functionalities. An upcoming branch of atom optics is the control of single atoms, potentially allowing solid state devices to be built atom by atom; some of which would be applicable in future quantum information processing devices.

Additionally, sources of neutral atoms with high brightness are being developed and, if combined with photo ionization, even novel focused ion beam sources are within reach. Ultracold chemistry is fertilized by atomic techniques, when reactions of chemical constituents are investigated between ions, atoms, molecules, trapped or aligned in designed fields and cooled to ultra-low temperatures such that the reaction kinetics can be studied in a completely state-resolved manner.

The satellite, called Matter Wave Explorer of Gravity, will carry an experiment to test gravity, namely the measurement of the equal rate of free fall with various isotopes of distinct atomic species with precision cold atom interferometry in the vicinity of the earth. This will allow for a first quantum test the Equivalence Principle with spin polarised particles and with pure fermionic and bosonic atomic ensembles. Due to the space conditions, the free fall of Rubidium and Potassium isotopes will be compared with a maximum accelerational sensitivity of 5\{\textperiodcentered\}10\{\thinspace\}−\{\thinspace\}16 m/s2 corresponding to an accuracy of the test of the Equivalence Principle of 1 part in 1016. Besides the primary scientific goal, the quantum test of the Equivalence Principle, the mission can be extended to provide additional information about the gravitational field of the earth or for testing theories of fundamental processes of decoherence which are investigated by various theory groups in the context of quantum gravity phenomenology.

With external magnetic fields one can modulate the phase in a long junction and create traveling, solitonic waves of magnetic flux, called fluxons. Today, it is also possible to devise two different types of junctions: depending on the sign of the critical current density , they are called 0- or π-junctions. In turn, a 0–π junction is formed by joining two of these junctions. As a result, one obtains a pinned Josephson vortex of fractional magnetic flux, at the 0–π boundary. Here, we analyze this arrangement of superconducting junctions in the context of an atomic bosonic quantum gas, where two-state atoms in a double well trap are coupled in an analogous fashion.

However, for every integer N there exist integers which are not factors, but where the Gauss sum reaches a value which is arbitrarily close to unity. In order to distinguish such ghost factors from real factors we need to amplify this difference. We show that a proper choice of the truncation parameter of the Gauss sum suppresses the ghost factors below a threshold value. We derive the scaling law of the truncation parameter on the number to be factored.

We then apply this result to G\{\dqo\}del's metric for two different experimental situations: First, the light source and the detector are at rest relative to the matter generating the gravitational field. In this case we find an expression that is formally equivalent to the familiar nonrelativistic Sagnac time delay. Second, the light source and the detector are rotating relative to the matter. Here we show that for a special rotation rate of the detector the Sagnac time delay vanishes. Finally we propose a formulation of the Sagnac time delay in terms of invariant physical quantities.

The back action of the measurement of the atomic internal state leads to the modification of the diagonal as well as of the off-diagonal elements of the field density matrix. We investigate the formation of nonclassical field states via atomic deflection and internal-state measurement and show that the coherence of the field and the interference between the constituent coherent states disappear in the limit of large interaction times. The width of the atomic momentum distribution allows us to determine the mean photon number and the width of the photon distribution. We find that, for an appropriate choice of the initial state of the atomic centre-of-mass motion, the form of the atomic momentum distribution is identical to that of the photon distribution.

It is remarkable that 35 years later this question it is still such a hot topic that it is the subject of various invited and contributed papers2,3 at the seventh conference of this series. Indeed over the last years the question of a proper quantum mechanical description of phase has attracted a lot of attention. This is on one hand due to the experimental progress in creating non classical states of light which display phase properties different from those of a coherent state, and on the other hand was triggered by the Pegg-Barnett proposal for a hermitian phase operator. Moreover the recent operational approach by Noh, Foug\{\`e\}res, and Mandel (NFM) opened a new era in this long standing debate.

Two-level atoms are prepared in a coherent superposition of the lower state and the upper state. Then the atomic coherence is transfered to the cavity field. As a two-level atom can deposit at most one photon in the cavity, we need N atoms to prepare an arbitrary superposition of N + 1 Fock states. However, probabilities enter because all two-level atoms must be detected in the lower state after they have interacted with the cavity field. In this paper we show that the idea can be generalized to atoms with more than two levels.

P.}, title = {Localization of Atoms by Homodyne Measurement}, abstract = {An atom passing through a standing electromagnetic wave inside an optical cavity couples via its dipole moment to the cavity field. The state of the combined system is an entangled state of atom and field; consequently, a measurement on one of the subsystems, on either the atom or the field, will provide information about the other. In particular, the position of the atom in the standing wave becomes strongly correlated with the phase of the field, since in the presence of the field the atom becomes polarized and thus changes the phase of the field through its refractive index; the magnitude of this phase change depends on the local light intensity and hence on the position of the atom. A measurement of the phase change due to the atom traversing the cavity can be made, for example, by balanced homodyne detection, and yields information about the position of the atom relative to the nodes and anti-nodes of the standing wave1,2. The information gain implies a localization of an initially extended atomic wave-packet. We have made a detailed investigation of this measurement-induced localization, where the influence of the measurement on the state of the system is described by the method of quantum trajectories3, which links measurement theory with quantum jump simulations. The quantum trajectory method allowed us to calculate the time evolution of the system wave function, conditioned on the measurement record made by the homodyne detector.}, year = {1996}, isbn = {978-1-4757-9742-8}, DOI = {10.1007/978-1-4757-9742-8\_144}, booktitle = {Coherence and Quantum Optics VII}, publisher = {Springer US}, address = {Boston, MA}, editor = {J.

Nowadays high precision measurements of the earth's rotation are performed by using radio telescopes in Very Long Baseline interferometry [1]. However, a recent proposal [2] takes advantage of the ultra high sensitivity of a ring laser gyroscope [3] of 10m diameter to monitor changes in earth rate* or Universal time. The underlying principle of such a device is the optical analogue of the Foucault pendulum, the so-called Sagnac effect [5,6]. The frequencies of two counterpropagating waves in a ring interferometer are slightly different when the interferometer is rotating about an axis perpendicular to its plane. Since this frequency difference is proportional to the rotation rate it provides a direct measure of the rotation of the system.}, year = {1986}, isbn = {978-1-4613-2181-1}, DOI = {10.1007/978-1-4613-2181-1\_27}, booktitle = {Frontiers of Nonequilibrium Statistical Physics}, volume = {135}, publisher = {Springer US}, address = {Boston, MA}, series = {NATO ASI Series (Series B: Physics)}, editor = {G.T.

They can now operate down to a small fraction of earth rotation rate using rings of 1-m diameter, which makes them interesting for tests of metric gravitation theories.2 They have reached a sensitivity where the noise limit is only due to the quantum fluctuations, which arise from spontaneous emission of the laser atoms. Whereas all kinds of mechanical noise can be circumvented by some ``tricky'' techniques, there is no way around the quantum noise, which stems from the quantization of the electric field in the resonator.
