17. Enhanced Optical Geometries for Atoms

Aidan Arnold (University of Strathclyde)

There has been recent dramatic global investment in quantum technologies, which now often harness laser-cooled atom traps. Such traps yield orders of magnitude longer measurement times and concomitant accuracy enhancements promised within the small physical footprint already demonstrated in warm atomic systems. Six-beam magneto-optical traps (MOTs) are ubiquitous in cold atomic physics...

21. A Cold-Atom Microwave Clock for Compact Time Keeping

Mr Alan Bregazzi (University of Strathclyde)

We present a cold-atom pulsed optically pumped (POP) microwave atomic clock based on an additively manufactured loop-gap-resonator microwave cavity and grating magneto-optical trap (GMOT). Additive manufacturing allows for almost arbitrary electrode geometries, more difficult to produce with traditional manufacturing. This approach is also highly scalable and requires minimal assembly. The use...
