Atom-Optical Research in The Maritimes
Atoms are extremely sensitive to gravitational and electromagnetic fields—making them versatile tools to construct high-precision quantum instruments. Our research focusses on harnessing the wave-like properties of atoms to realize new types of quantum sensors for fundamental physics, geoscience, and real-world applications such as positioning, navigation, and timing.
UHV Systems for
Quantum Science
We design non-magnetic ultra-high vacuum systems for experiments with ultracold atoms and the development of quantum sensors based on matter-wave interferometry.
Cold Atom Source
A compact quartz cell integrated with a rubidium vapour dispensor facilitates the generation of a cold atomic beam.
Ultra-Stable Laser Systems
We develop high-speed, low-noise electronics to stabilize and dynamically control lasers for the manipulation atoms.
Real-Time Quantum Control
We are developing a real-time control system for quantum sensors based on ARTIQ hardware.
