Tractor atom interferometer*

Tractor Atom Interferometer (TAI), a recently proposed matter-wave interferometer, features uninterrupted three-dimensional confinement and transport of atomic wave-packets along programmable trajectories using optical or other traps. We present numerical investigations on rotation sensing using TAI with a multi-pass design for scalable sensitivity. From our numerical quantum dynamics simulations we infer the sensitivity and confirm agreement with semiclassical predictions, in the adiabatic limit. Our results demonstrate robust suppression of wave-packet dispersion, tunneling and non-adiabatic excitations in the TAI performance over a wide range of parameters and multiple transport loops
