Simple Single-Shot Field Reconstruction on the 10 micro-Gauss Level

POSTER

Abstract

Accurate knowledge of the magnetic field is imperative in many physical systems for the determination of their energies and timescales. In ultracold atomic clouds, precise control of magnetic-field induced Zeeman splittings of hyperfine transitions can be challenging due to spatially constricted geometries subject to slowly drifting, spatially inhomogeneous fields. Here we present a technical note on the precise reconstruction of magnetic fields, on the $\sim 10\mu$G level, at the position of a trapped atomic cloud, using only atomic population to determine the magnetic field in a single-shot measurement.
