• Adiabatic: “Slowly enough” change between two states
• Pop. transfer does not depend on: – Laser intensity– Interaction time(vs. π/2 or π pulses)
• This implementation:
– Scan laser frequency across Raman resonance
– Laser power: – 96% efficiency per pulse
(99% efficiency per ħk)

1. Create superposition of hyperfine ground states
2. Adiabatic passage Raman transition, ±2ħk momentum (Ô±)– Repeat to increase momentum– Reverse to overlap atoms
3. Cavity and Doppler shift allows reversal of kick direction (could also use MW)
Benefit: If kicks are efficient, can do many to increase momentum transfer

Enabled by efficient kicks:
• Split a single atom source into two interferometers
• Enables measurement if phase shift between interferometers, typically for gravity gradiometry
• ~2 mm separation (phase shift externally induced by AC Stark shift)

Kicked ion
• SDK (spin-dependent kick) laser10 ps pulses, 80 MHz, 36 W avg power
• Ions will barely move during the picosecond pulses, leading to high fidelity.• Average acceleration of over 100,000 g quickly separates wavepackets.• Large bandwidth will allow use of thermal ions.• Could increase sensitivity of truly thermal neutral atom interferometers as
well..

• Traditional matter wave interferometers: atoms act as test masses for force sensing.
• Roughly think about a potential difference across the arms leads to a phase shift.

Bloch oscillationsBloch theorem: Wavefunction of a particle in a periodic potential is
𝜓𝜓 𝑟𝑟 = 𝑒𝑒𝑖𝑖 𝑞𝑞 𝑙𝑙𝑢𝑢(𝑟𝑟)
where q is the “quasimomentum” in the potential and u(r) is a periodic function which repeats every lattice site.
Force on a particle in a periodic potential (Bloch 1928) causes the quasimomentum to change in time
𝑞𝑞 𝑡𝑡 = 𝑞𝑞0 + 𝐹𝐹𝑡𝑡and undergoes Bragg reflection at the edge of Brillouin zone.

Bloch oscillations
In quantum mechanics a force on a particle in a periodic potential leads to changes in momentum called Bloch oscillations.
