Quantum sensing leverages the fundamental quantum behavior of atoms and light to measure weak signals with precision beyond that of classical methods. These measurements make use of trapped ions and cold atoms, and include applications such as magnetic field sensing, optical atomic clocks, and quantum gravimetry. Critical to these techniques are ultra-cold temperatures, coherent quantum control, and sensitive optical readout, which pose significant hardware challenges with regard to laser stabilization, timing, and noise suppression. During this presentation, find out how to use reconfigurable instrumentation to generate and detect synchronized RF pulse trains, such as a Ramsey sequence, using the software-defined Moku Waveform Generator and Lock-in Amplifier. Plus, see new ways to stabilize your systems with the Moku Laser Lock Box, measure clock stability with the Moku Phasemeter, and detect single-photon events with the Moku Time & Frequency Analyzer, all with one device. Finally, in a live demonstration, learn how to deploy these instruments simultaneously for maximum flexibility, and how to use Python to interface with each. A Q&A session will conclude the presentation. Presented in partnership with Photonics Media.What we covered:
- Learn about quantum sensing applications using cold atoms and trapped ions.
- See how FPGA-based hardware can address some of the hurdles to implementation.
- Find out how to configure experimental setups for different modalities and applications.
