Real-world use cases
Northwestern looks to the heart of the universe with robust quantum sensors
With Boulder Opal, Northwestern suppressed 5 different noise sources simultaneously with a single optimized robust control pulse for atom interferometry.
5
different noise sources can be suppressed simultaneously with a single optimized robust control pulse for atom interferometry.
The breadth and flexibility of Boulder Opal allowed us to create our own optimization scenario and obtain pulses robust to the five most relevant experimental noise sources at the same time! This will be crucial in the development of atomic interferometers to detect dark matter and gravitational waves at currently unexplored frequencies.
