• Abstract: Increasing the sensitivity of light-pulse atom interferometers progressively relies on large-momentum transfer techniques. Precise control of such methods is imperative to exploit the full capabilities of these quantum sensors. One key element is the mitigation of deleterious effects such as parasitic paths deteriorating the interferometric signal. In this Letter, we present the experimental realization of dichroic mirror pulses for atom interferometry, its scalability to higher-order Bragg diffraction, and its robustness against initial momentum spread. Our approach selectively reflects resonant atom paths into the detected interferometer output, ensuring that these contribute to the signal with intent. Simultaneously, parasitic paths are efficiently transmitted by the mirror and not directed to the relevant interferometer outputs. This method effectively isolates the desired interferometric signal from noise induced by unwanted paths. It can be readily applied to existing setups capable of higher-order Bragg diffraction.

  We introduce a novel technique for enhancing the robustness of light-pulse atom interferometers against the pulse infidelities that typically limit their sensitivities. We apply this method to a resonant atom interferometer and achieve thousand-fold phase amplification, representing a fifty-fold improvement over the performance observed without optimized control. We anticipate our findings will significantly benefit the performance of matter-wave interferometers for a variety of applications, including dark matter, dark energy, and gravitational wave detection.

• Directional spontaneous emission in photonic crystal slabs [49.1574468325115]
  Spontaneous emission is a fundamental out-of-equilibrium process in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations. One way to modify these photon-mediated interactions is to alter the dipole radiation patterns of the emitter, e.g., by placing photonic crystals near them. Our study delves into the interaction between these directional emission patterns and the aforementioned variables, revealing the untapped potential to fine-tune collective quantum optical phenomena.
