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: A microwave sensor determines an electric-field strength of a microwave field populated by quantum particles in an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) cell. A probe laser beam and a coupling laser beam are directed into the UHV cell so that they are generally orthogonal to each other and intersect to define a “Rydberg” intersection, so-called as the quantum particles within the Rydberg intersection transition to a pair of Rydberg states. The frequency of the probe laser beam is swept so that a frequency spectrum of the probe laser beam can be captured. The frequency spectrum is analyzed to determine a frequency difference between Autler-Townes peaks. The electric-field strength of the microwave field within the Rydberg intersection is then determined based on this frequency difference.

Abstract: A quantum-mechanics station (?-station) and a cloud-based server cooperate to provide quantum mechanics as a service (?aaS) including real-time, exclusive, interactive sessions. The ?-station serves as a system for implementing “recipes” for producing, manipulating, and/or using quantum-state carriers, e.g., 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 ?-station. The session manager controls (e.g., in real-time) interactions between a user and a ?-station, some interactions allowing a user to select a recipe based on wavefunction characterizations returned earlier in the same session.

Abstract: A system including a magnetic coil and a coil driver is described. The magnetic coil has a parasitic capacitance. The coil driver is coupled with the magnetic coil. The coil driver includes a pulse generator and a switching module coupled with the pulse generator. The pulse generator provides a pulse train. The switching module receives the pulse train and provides a switched driving signal to the magnetic coil. The switched driving signal has a frequency not less than a parasitic capacitance frequency.

Abstract: A 3D microwave sensor includes a cloud of particles, e.g., rubidium 87 atoms. A laser system produces: a first probe beam directed through the particle cloud along a first path; a second probe beam directed through the particle cloud along a second path that intersects the first path to define a Rydberg intersection; a first coupling beam that counterpropagates with respect to the first probe beam along the first path; and a second coupling beam that counterpropagates with respect to the second probe beam along the second path. A spectrum analyzer characterizes the microwave field strength at the Rydberg intersection. The laser beams can be steered to move the Rydberg intersection within the particle cloud to compile a microwave field strength distribution in the particle cloud.

Abstract: A sputter-ion-pump system includes a sputter ion pump and an electronic drive. The electronic drive supplies a voltage across the ion pump to establish, in cooperation with a magnetic field, a Penning trap within the ion pump. A current sensor measures the Penning-trap current across the Penning trap. The Penning trap is used as an indication of pressure within the ion pump or a vacuum chamber including or in fluid communication with the ion pump. The pressure information can be used to determine flow rates, e.g., due to a load, outgassing, and/or leakage from an ambient.
