34th Annual International Laser Physics Conference

Quantum Sensors

Invited Talk

R Folman and Atom Chip Group1

1 Department of Physics, Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Beer-Sheva, Israel

Seminar: S7 — Quantum Information Science

Monday, 6 July 2026 · 13:30 – 14:05

Abstract

In this talk I will present work based on Stern-Gerlach interferometry [1-5]. I will introduce two cold-atom sensors, based on clock interferometry [6], and point-source interferometry [7]. I will also briefly present levitated particles [8,9], which may form a new generation of sensors. Time permitting, I will be happy to also address more technical questions. For example, interesting issues concerning decoherence arise [10,11].
