The past three decades have shown dramatic progress in the ability to manipulate and
coherently control the motion of atoms. This exquisite control offers the prospect of a new …

We have studied the temperature scaling laws for the conditions under which a cloud of
trapped^ 85Rb atoms in the sigma+/sigma-configuration makes the transition from the …

We propose a feasible scheme to realize nonlinear Ramsey interferometry with a two-
component Bose-Einstein condensate, where the nonlinearity arises from the interaction …

We investigate the characteristics of near resonant Bragg scattering, the underlying process
that produces a signal in a grating-echo atom interferometer. We explore how the density …

We discuss techniques for probing the effects of a constant force acting on cold atoms using
two configurations of a grating echo-type atom interferometer. Laser-cooled samples of 85 …

We have observed the effects of magnetic field gradients and gravitational acceleration on
grating echoes in a time-domain single state atom interferometer that uses laser cooled Rb …

We have studied the effects of spontaneous emission (SE) on a single-state time domain
atom interferometer (AI) that uses trapped Rb atoms. The AI uses two standing wave pulses …

A single-state grating echo interferometer offers unique advantages for time-domain studies
of light–matter interactions using laser-cooled atoms, including applications that involve …

I describe progress toward a precise measurement of the recoil energy of an atom due to a
two-photon scattering process that is measured using a unique echo-type atom …

We have used an echo-type atom interferometer that manipulates laser-cooled atoms in a
single ground state to investigate the effect of light scattering from pulsed and continuous …
