Abstract
Point source interferometry (PSI) is a promising technique that could lead to a compact, high- performance gyroscope based on atom interferometry. We consider the trade-offs in size and performance with PSI. In particular, we discuss the sensitivity and dynamic range that could be achieved with a simple PSI gyroscope with an evacuated volume ranging from 1~mm$^3$ to 10 cm$^3$. We also discuss the stability required of the initial atomic distribution in order to achieve part-per-million scale factor stability.Conference Dates
