Atom-interferometry for inertial sensing of rotation

No funded positions are available at present. If you have a separate source of funding, please do contact the supervisors below.

The possibility of using interference of coherent matter-waves offers tantalizing levels of potential accuracy for measurement devices. A particular application of interest is that of rotation sensing with applications in quantum-based, autonomous navigation devices. The student will join a research program in BEC interferometry at Strathclyde in the development of a Bose-Einstein condensate atom interferometer device. A key aim is the demonstration of integrated optics and BEC interferometry. This project would ultimately inform the translation of chip-based BEC technology into a practical navigation tool.
