Title: Superfluid helium quantum interference devices
Abstract:
Matter wave interferometers have the potential to reveal some of the most
fascinating phenomena of the quantum world. After an introduction on
superfluid helium and superfluid Josephson junctions, I will describe how
macroscopic quantum-mechanical properties of such systems can be leveraged
to construct interference devices to explore both fundamental and applied
physics. I will highlight some interferometry results including the
utilization of a superfluid interferometer as an absolute rotation sensor.
