| Abstract |
This paper demonstrates how quantum optimal control can be used to perform shaken lattice interferometry. The first objective is to translate the five fundamental stages of interferometry (splitting, propagation, reflection, counter propagation and recombination) into quantum optimal control problems parametrized by the time horizon of each stage. The timing of each stage is then studied in relationship to its overall influence on the interferometer performance. This is done by comparing the population distributions obtained for a range of different accelerations and using Fisher information to estimate the sensitivity of the resulting accelerometer. These encouraging results highlight the effectiveness of quantum optimal control for the the design of next-generation atom-based interferometers. |

The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
