    We study the modifications of Rydberg EIT resonances in non-collinear geometry in which the two required optical fields cross at a small non-zero angle. We observe a strong broadening and amplitude reduction even for small angles when compared to exact counter-propagating and co-propagating collinear geometries. We confirm that such EIT peak deterioration results from the additional Doppler broadening due to the transverse velocity distribution of atoms. The numerical simulation closely matches the experimental measurements. While a non-collinear geometry provides improved spatial resolution for Rydberg EIT electrometry, we conclude that the crossing angle must be small to maintain field sensitivity.

    We present a quantum optics-based detection method for determining the position and current of an electron beam. As electrons pass through a dilute vapor of rubidium atoms, their magnetic field perturbs the atomic spin's quantum state and causes polarization rotation of a laser resonant with an optical transition of the atoms. By measuring the polarization rotation angle across the laser beam, we recreate a 2D projection of the magnetic field and use it to determine the e-beam position, size, and total current. We tested this method for an e-beam with currents ranging from 30 to 110 μA. Our approach is insensitive to electron kinetic energy, and we confirmed that experimentally between 10 and 20 keV. This technique offers a unique platform for noninvasive characterization of charged particle beams used in accelerators for particle and nuclear physics research.

    We present a toolbox of microstrip building blocks for microwave atom chips geared towards trapped atom interferometry. Transverse trapping potentials based on the AC Zeeman (ACZ) effect can be formed from the combined microwave magnetic near fields of a pair or a triplet of parallel microstrip transmission lines. Axial confinement can be provided by a microwave lattice (standing wave) along the microstrip traces. Microwave fields provide additional parameters for dynamically adjusting ACZ potentials: detuning of the applied frequency to select atomic transitions and local polarization controlled by the relative phase in multiple microwave currents. Multiple ACZ traps and potentials, operating at different frequencies, can be targeted to different spin states simultaneously, thus enabling spin-specific manipulation of atoms and spin-dependent trapped atom interferometry.
