Construction of an Ultracold Quantum Matter Synthesizer
Abstract
The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) is designed to improve the capabilities of U.S. Universities to conduct research and to educate scientists and engineers in selected technical areas of importance to national defense. DURIP funding provides for the acquisition of research equipment and instrumentation for this purpose. The technical purpose of this DURIP is to acquire instruments for the design and development of a unique ÒQuantum Matter Synthesizer (QMS)Ó, whereby atoms are arranged in optical lattices with multiple optical tweezers into a desired pattern for testing and validating a wide range of quantum models. A unique high power solid state laser, two scientific cameras, two Digitial Micromirror Devices, and a pair of microscope objectives will be acquired. These elements will be incorporated into existing instrumentation and utilized in developing the unique measurement capability sought by the principle investigator.
