Progress towards a fully integrated cold-atom measurement platform

A fully integrated and mass producible platform for laser cooling has the potential to revolutionize the growing field of quantum technologies and atomic sensors. Recent advancements in the micro-fabrication of components at the heart of cold atom systems have laid the foundations for the amalgamation of a simple, stackable solution to laser cooling. In this talk we will highlight our recent progress towards a fully chip-scale, cold-atom platform, outlining our approach for on-chip wavelength referencing, examining a solution for imaging atoms in a planar stacked device, and finally discussing the limitations to passively pumped vacuum longevity.
