Pushing quantum sensor technology towards ultra-compact and integrated setups — •Marc Christ1, Achim Peters1, Markus Krutzik1, and The KACTUS Team1,2,3 — 1Institut für Physik, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin — 2Ferdinand-Braun-Institut, Berlin — 3Leibniz Universität Hannover
Reliable long-term operation of integrated quantum sensors in space imposes challenging requirements on the utilized technology and materials. In the last decade, the progress in miniaturization achieved in the context of the QUANTUS and LASUS collaborations greatly benefited from atom chip technology, microintegrated diode laser systems and compact opto-mechanics.
Within the KACTUS project, we explore innovative technologies to realize even more compact and integrated quantum sensor prototypes, for instance by implementing Magneto-optical traps and dipole laser setups on-chip. To achieve long lifetimes of Bose-Einstein condensates generated in these devices, the UHV performance is crucial.
We present the design of a versatile tool allowing mass spectrometry and gas rate measurements at 10−11 mbar base pressure. Combined with a sample transfer and conditioning system, UHV qualification of single components to medium sized assemblies is possible. This enables rapid prototyping of innovative, integrated setups and qualification of novel bonding techniques.
