Why atomic gravitational wave interferometric sensors (AGIS)? • “Mirrors” are light wavefronts, linked by light cones • allows for common-mode rejection of vibrations • No vibration isolation necessary • Distance measurement based on quantum mechanics • Action of laser on atom inherent part of operation • Sensitivity at 1 Hz • New technology, at the beginning of a development
AGIS: example Examples: k=2π/1μ, h=10 -20, ω=2π*1 Hz ÞΦ~3*10 -10 n=10, 000 =>Φ~3*10 -6
AGIS: challenges 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 10, 000 photon beam splitters Common-mode rejection of vibrations Atom sources Low-noise detection of atoms (Squeezing)
Multiphoton Beam Splitters
Multiphoton Bragg diffraction E k
Raman-Nath regime • Short pulses (<<1/wr) • Amplitudes of momentum states are Bessel functions • => Very lossy Population n=0 2 4 6 Interaction strength*interaction time
Higher-order adiabatic elimination Starting point: Adiabatic theory Re-insert into Schrodinger equation:
Bragg Regime: Square pulses Integrals easy… Population of neighbour states (losses) High losses, unless pulses extremely long
Bragg Regime: Gaussian pulses Integrals VERY hard: But can be computed using saddle point method:
Requirements • ~1 W per beam 40 m. W • Good Gaussian shape (Real-time amplitude control) square • Good timing not critical • Low noise, ~1/n • Low wavefront distortion, ~1/n • Low vibration, ~1/n H.

Scalable momentum transfer: Bragg-Bloch-Bragg (BBB) beam splitter
Bloch oscillations atoms in accelerated optical lattice can transfer 1000 s of ħk, very robust …but (so far) only to common momentum end-to-end coherence yet to be demonstrated
BBB splitter Bloch oscillations AC Stark effect not balanced Bragg diffraction Assymetry input/output That’s it! But: dual lattices, lattice loaded twice, and one Bragg diffraction.
Full BBB splitter Intensity vs. Time Laser difference frequency Trajectories of the atom
BBB interferometers 24 optical lattices: 4 dual 4 quadruple 6 Bragg diffractions: 2 single 2 dual. Will it be coherent? 1: dual lattice 2: single Bragg 3: quadruple lattice 4: dual Bragg
