Multi-Path interferometer
There does not exist a p/2 pulse.To obtain the best resolution from the interferometer one has to optimize pulse area

• We have demonstrated a compact time-domain multi-path interferometer on an atom chip
• Sensitivity can be controlled by an RF pulse acting as a controllable state splitter.
• Resolution superior to that of an ideal two-path interferometer.
• Simultaneous measurement of multiple signals at the output enables a range of advanced sensing applications in atomic physics and optics
• Integration of interferometer with a chip puts it into consideration for future portable cold-atom based measurement systems.
