Static Polarizability Measurements and Inertial Sensing with Nanograting Atom Interferometry

I used a Mach-Zehnder atom interferometer to measure the static electric-dipole polarizabilities of K, Rb, and Cs atoms with 0.11\% uncertainty. Static polarizability measurements serve as benchmark tests for 𝑎𝑏 𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜 atomic structure calculations. Calculating atomic properties such as polarizabili...
