Quantum sensing experiments benefit from fast Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) generation with small expansion energies. Here, we theoretically find the optimal BEC collimation parameters with painted optical potentials to experimentally achieve 2D expansion energies of 438(77) pK taking advantage of the tunable interactions by driving Feshbach resonances and engineering the collective oscillations. Based on these findings and corresponding simulations, we propose a scenario to realize 3D expansion energies on ground below 16 pK, going beyond the experimental state of the art in microgravity [A. Herbst et al., arXiv:2310.04383 (2023)].
Furthermore, we report on current theoretical studies of the dynamics of space single- and dual-BEC experiments including applications in NASA’s Cold Atom Lab aboard the International Space Station or the sounding rocket mission MAIUS-2, paving the way for next-generation quantum sensing experiments, including tests of fundamental physics such as Einstein’s equivalence principle.
