The implementation principle of a typical three-pulse cold atom interference gyroscope is introduced in this paper. Based on its configuration and current research status, the problems of cold atom interference gyro are pointed out. The data-rate is insufficient, and it is difficult to achieve high dynamic measurement. Then, based on these two limitations, a novel design of the monitoring navigation system of the cold atom interference gyroscope (CAIG) and an intermediate-grade inertial measurement unit (IMU) was proposed to obtain the long-term position result without GPS signals, such as the Inertial Navigation System (INS) in underwater vehicles. While the CAIG was used as the external gyro, the bias of IMU and the misalignment angle between the CAIG-frame and the IMU-frame are obtained through filtering technique. The simulation test and field test demonstrated the improvements of the long-term positioning accuracy of the INS.

Inertial navigation systems (INSs) exhibit distinctive characteristics, such as long-duration operation, full autonomy, and exceptional covertness compared to other navigation systems. However, errors are accumulated over time due to operational principles and the limitations of sensors. To address this problem, this study theoretically explores a numerically simulated integrated inertial navigation system consisting of a single-axis cold atom interferometer gyroscope (CAIG) and a conventional inertial measurement unit (IMU).

We demonstrate that phase-contrast imaging (PCI) can reliably reconstruct the in situ density profile even for highly spatially and optically dense samples. In our experiment, we achieve high spatial densities of up to 7.9 × 1013 atoms/cm3 and optical depths up to 64 in a dense cold atomic cloud of 88Sr atoms.

Coarsening of an isolated far-from-equilibrium quantum system is a paradigmatic many-body phenomenon, relevant from subnuclear to cosmological length scales and predicted to feature universal dynamic scaling. Here, we observed universal scaling in the coarsening of a homogeneous two-dimensional Bose gas, with exponents that match analytical predictions. For different initial states, we reveal universal scaling in the experimentally accessible finite-time dynamics by elucidating and accounting for the initial-state-dependent prescaling effects.

Realistic and accurate simulations are crucial for developing quantum sensors such as cold atom gyroscopes, gravimeters, and gradiometers in the field of cold atom interferometers (CAIs). However, current simulations lack the necessary specifications for CAIs. In this study, we constructed a physical model for CAIs and designed a detailed simulation program, including the model construction, input and output parameter selection, program design, and computational acceleration.

By simulating key parameters such as the grating period, etching depth, duty cycle, coating material, and thickness, the optimal design parameters were determined ( = 210 nm, = 0.5, = 100 nm, = 1150 nm) to ensure efficient dual-wavelength diffraction and maximize the number of captured atoms.
