Utility
Quantum tunneling matter-wave transistor system
20 Jul 21
The present invention provides an matter-wave transistor in which the flow of particles (e.g., atoms and molecules) through the transistor is a result of resonant tunneling from a source well, through a gate well and into a drain well (as opposed to being a result of collisions, as in a classical atomtronic transistor).

Utility
Cold-matter system having integrated pressure regulator
13 Apr 21
A cold-atom cell is formed by machining a block of silicon to define sites for an atom source chamber, an atom manipulation chamber, and an ion-pump chamber.

Utility
Continuous quantum sensor
24 Aug 20
Atom-scale particles, e.g., neutral and charged atoms and molecules, are pre-cooled, e.g., using magneto-optical traps (MOTs), to below 100 μK to yield cold particles.

Utility
Reversible anodic bonding
8 Jun 20
Reversible (relatively weak) anodic bonds permit glass and silicon components to be separated without damaging the components so that they can be reused.

Utility
Compact, high-performance MEMS-based optical shutter
6 Apr 20
A micro-machined optical shutter includes an entry layer with a through-passage having an input side adapted to receive incoming light and an output side, and an exit layer with a through-passage having an input side comprising a pinhole and an output side.
