Abstract: A shaken-lattice station and a cloud-based server cooperate to provide shaken lattices as a service (SLaaS). The shaken-lattice station serves as a system for implementing “recipes” for creating and using shaking functions to be applied to light used to trap quantum particles. The cloud-based server acts as an interface between the shaken-lattice station (or stations) and authorized users of account holders. To this end the server hosts an account manager and a session manager. The account manager manages accounts and associated account-based and user-specific permissions that define what actions any given authorized user for an account may perform with respect to a shaken-lattice station. The session manager controls (e.g., in real-time) interactions between a user and a shaken-lattice station, some interactions allowing a user to select a recipe based on results returned earlier in the same session.

Abstract: A BEC-station and a cloud-based server cooperate to provide Bose-Einstein condensates as a service (BECaaS). The BEC station serves as a system for implementing “recipes” for producing, manipulating, and/or using cold (<1 mK) a BEC, e.g., of cold Rubidium 87 atoms. The cloud-based server acts as an interface between the station (or stations) and authorized users of account holders. To this end the server hosts an account manager and a session manager. The account manager manages accounts and associated account-based and user-specific permissions that define what actions any given authorized user for an account may perform with respect to a BEC station. The session manager controls (in some cases real-time) interactions between a user and a BEC station, some interactions allowing a user to select a recipe based on results returned earlier in the same session.

Abstract: An atomtronics station and a cloud-based server cooperate to provide Bose-Einstein condensates as a service (ATaaS). The atomtronics station serves as a system for implementing “recipes” for producing, manipulating, and/or using atomtronic devices based on cold atoms that are, in some respects, analogous to classical electronic devices based on electricity. The cloud-based server acts as an interface between the station (or stations) and authorized users of account holders. To this end the server hosts an account manager and a session manager. The account manager manages accounts and associated account-based and user-specific permissions that define what actions any given authorized user for an account may perform with respect to an atomtronics station. The session manager controls (in some cases, real-time) interactions between a user and an atomtronics station, some interactions allowing a user to select a recipe based on results returned earlier in the same session.

Abstract: Microlens array formation and alignment to heterogeneously integrated optoelectronic devices. Optoelectronic devices are printed or transferred in a single process step while also creating inactive optoelectronic devices that are precisely shaped for alignment purposes rather than for optical or electrical performance. Microlenses are integrated monolithically. The microlenses are aligned directly to a fiducial generated by the device integration step, reducing overall misalignment. Additionally, we use specific optical designs for the lenses to add novel functionalities to the system. By designing the lenses with engineered offsets, distances and curvatures with respect to the arrays of optoelectronic devices, we control properties of light such as: angles, phase, beam widths, and wavelength dependence.
