• Abstract: Bloch oscillations of atoms in optical lattices are a powerful technique that can boost the sensitivity of atom interferometers to a wide range of signals by large momentum transfer. To leverage this method to its full potential, an accurate theoretical description of losses and phases is needed going beyond existing treatments. Here, we present a comprehensive theoretical framework for Bloch-oscillation-enhanced atom interferometry and verify its accuracy through comparison with an exact numerical solution of the Schr\"odinger equation. Our approach establishes design criteria to reach the fundamental efficiency and accuracy limits of large momentum transfer using Bloch oscillations. We compare these limits to the case of current state-of-the-art experiments and make projections for the next generation of quantum sensors.

  This paper explores the sensitivity gains afforded by spin-squeezed states in atom interferometry, in particular using Bragg diffraction.

• Sensing atomic superfluid rotation beyond the standard quantum limit [10.759898015794557]
  Atomic superfluids formed using Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in a ring trap are being investigated in the context of superfluid hydrodynamics, quantum sensing and matter-wave interferometry. Recent studies have proposed coupling the ring BEC to optical cavity modes carrying orbital angular momentum to make minimally destructive measurements of the condensate rotation. We present a detailed theoretical analysis to demonstrate that the use of squeezed light and backaction evasion techniques allows the angular momentum of the condensate to be sensed with noise well below the standard quantum limit.

• Bloch Oscillation Phases investigated by Multi-path Stuckelberg Atom Interferometry [0.0]
  Atoms undergoing Bloch oscillations (BOs) in an accelerating optical lattice acquire momentum of two photon recoils per BO. This technique provides a large momentum transfer tool for atom optics, but its full exploitation for atom interferometric sensors requires experimental characterization of associated phases. We develop a multi-path Stuckelberg interferometer and investigate atomic phase evolution during BOs, up to 100 photon recoil momentum transfer.

  We use analytic and numerical treatments of the spin-changing collision process to demonstrate that triggering the entangling collisions with a small classical seed rather than vacuum fluctuations leads to a more robust and superior sensitivity when technical noise is accounted for. Our results are relevant for understanding how entangled atomic states are best designed and generated for use in quantum-enhanced matter-wave interferometry.
