Abstract
My internship was with the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Quantum Sensing Timing group. This group has been heading research into high-aspect ratio, direct-bonded copper substrates for the last 2 decades and have made major contributions to the field in terms of the maximum achievable gradients for micro-scale chip traps. Over the course of this paper, I will detail some of the basic formalism involved, give a little history, detail some improvements made over the last few years, and then end with using what I’ve learned to theory- craft a functional atom-chip utilizing best-practices. This chip’s theoretical limits will hit a trap frequency of up to 1500 Hz, be able to trap up to 1.13 mm away from the chip surface and will need a perpendicular bias field of up to 132 Gauss.
