Novel approaches to atom interferometer inertial measurements

This project will be based on the current Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) atom interferometer, which uses Bragg beam splitters and large momentum transfer (LMT) pulses. This part of the effort will focus on ways to make this system more practical and easy to use in the longer term. Specifically efforts will be focused on reducing complexity, reducing sensor size, and increasing the sensors signal to noise ratio (SNR).
