Chip-scale atomic devices combine elements of precision atomic spectroscopy, silicon
micromachining, and advanced diode laser technology to create compact, low-power, and …

Laser cooled atoms have proven transformative for precision metrology, playing a pivotal
role in state-of-the-art clocks and interferometers and having the potential to provide a step …

Cold atom vacuum metrology is a technique for linking science and applications of cold
atom and vacuum sensing based on a fundamental atomic property, the collision cross …

We demonstrate a compact (0.25 L) system for laser cooling and trapping atoms from a
heated dispenser source. Our system uses a nanofabricated diffraction grating to generate a …

Compact cold-atom sensors depend on vacuum technology. One of the major limitations to
miniaturizing these sensors is the active pumps—typically ion pumps—that are required to …

Cold atoms are excellent metrological tools; they currently realize SI time and, soon, SI
pressure in the ultra-high (UHV) and extreme high vacuum (XHV) regimes. The …

We report on the characterization of Cs vapor microcells based on pill dispensers and
fabricated in a MEMS foundry according to a process compatible with mass-production …

Rubidium-ion batteries (RIBs) have received a lot of attention in the quantum field because
of their fast release and reversible advantages as alkali sources. However, the anode …

Micro-and increasingly, nano-fabrication have enabled the miniaturization of atomic devices,
from vapor cells to atom chips for Bose-Einstein condensation. Here we present …

We demonstrate a controllable depletion of the nitrogen buffer gas pressure in a micro-
machined cesium (Cs) vapor cell from the dynamic heating of an alkali dispenser pill. When …
