A two-state Kalman estimator for atomic gravimetry

We present a two-state Kalman estimator of gravity acceleration and evaluate its performance by numerical simulations and post-measurement demonstration with real-world atomic gravimetry. We show that the estimator-enhanced gravimetry significantly improves upon both short-term sensitivity and long-term stability. The estimates of gravity acceleration demonstrate a τ^{1/2} feature well under white phase noise in the short term, and continue to improve as τ^{-1/2} or improve faster as τ^{-1} in the long term. This work validates the estimation of gravity acceleration as a key topic for future atomic gravimetry.

Estimating gravity acceleration from static atomic gravimeter by Kalman filtering

We present the construction of the two-state model of the atomic gravimeter and the associated Kalman recursion to estimate gravity acceleration from atomic gravimeter. We find the Kalman estimator greatly improve the precision of estimates in short term by removing the white phase noise. The residual noise of the estimates follows 0.13 muGal/\sqrt{s} for up to more than 100 s and highlights a precision of 0.34 muGal at the measuring time of a single sample, even with no seismometer correction.

Demonstration of static atomic gravimetry using Kalman filter

The measurement precision of the static atomic gravimetry is limited by white Gaussian noise in short term, which costs previous works an inevitable integration to reach the precision demanded. Here, we propose a statistical model based on the quantum projection noise and apply the Kalman filter to the waveform estimation in static atomic gravimetry. With the white Gaussian noise significantly removed by the the Kalman-filter formalism, the measurement noise of the gravimetry is reshaped in short term and shows $τ^{1/2}$ feature that corresponds to random walk. During 200 hours of static measurement of gravity, the atomic gravimeter using Kalman filter demonstrates a sensitivity as good as 0.6 $\rm{nm/s^2}/\sqrt{\rm{s}}$, and highlights a precision of 1.7 $\rm{nm/s^2}$ at the measuring time of a single sample. The measurement noise achieved is also lower than the quantum projection limit below $\sim$ 30 s.

Low noise phase-locked laser system for atom interferometry

A low noise laser system for atom interferometry is realized with phase-locked fiber lasers, where the performance of the OPLL is greatly enhanced by the FEOM feedback loop and the narrow linewidths. The laser system demonstrated contribute 2.2 mrad per shot to the interferometer noise and permit continuous long-term operation for more than 115 hours without relocking in the field test. Also, the mobile gravimeter equipped with this phase-locked laser system reaches a sensitivity as good as 29 uGal/\sqrt{Hz} and a resolution of 1.1 uGal within 1500 s, demonstrating performances comparable to the state of the art.

The Sagnac Effect in Optical Lattices with Laser-Assisted Tunneling

We propose a scheme to realize the rotation sensing using optical lattices with laser-assisted tunneling. We demonstrate that the competition between the rotation and the spin-orbit coupling governs the spin-dependent response of the cyclotron dynamics of the spin-orbit coupled bosons. The Sagnac-type cumulative phase can be read out from the envelop of a beat-frequency particle current in the spin-balanced system and enhanced by the cyclotron motion. We also theoretically show that the sensitivity limit of the spin-orbit-coupled system to the rotational motion can reach 7*10^-8 rad s^-1 Hz^1/2.

Cyclotron Dynamics of a Kondo Singlet in a Spin-Orbit-Coupled Alkaline-Earth Atomic Gas

We propose a scheme to investigate the interplay between Kondo-exchange interaction and quantum spin Hall effect with ultracold fermionic alkaline-earth atoms trapped in two-dimensional optical lattices using ultracold collision and laser-assisted tunneling. In the strong Kondo-coupling regime, though the loop trajectory of the mobile atom disappears, collective dynamics of an atom pair in two clock states can exhibit an unexpected spin-dependent cyclotron orbit in a plaquette, realizing the quantum spin Hall effect of the Kondo singlet. We demonstrate that the collective cyclotron dynamics of the spin-zero Kondo singlet is governed by an effective Harper-Hofstadter model in addition to second-order diagonal tunneling.

Interacting heavy fermions in a disordered optical lattice

We have theoretically studied the effect of disorder on ultracold alkaline-earth atoms governed by the Kondo lattice model in an optical lattice via simplified double-well model and hybridization mean-field theory. Disorder-induced narrowing and even complete closure of hybridization gap have been predicted and the compressibility of the system has also been investigated for metallic and Kondo insulator phases in the presence of the disordered potential. To make connection to the experimental situation, we have numerically solved the disordered Kondo lattice model with an external harmonic trap and shown both the melting of Kondo insulator plateau and an compressibility anomaly at low-density.
