A tool for measuring atomic properties at the quantum limit

Friday, September 12, 2014 - 09:12 in Physics & Chemistry

Performing high-resolution, high-sensitivity measurements of light and matter at the quantum limit requires extraordinary tools. Due to the difficulties of manipulating atoms with the necessary control, such measurements are often made by manipulating light. The measurement of atoms at this level of precision, however, is of much interest for applications such as atomic clocks, atomic spectroscopy and atom interferometry.
