Towards an atomic Sagnac interferometer with full dynamical control of atoms in ring waveguides

The advances towards a fully guided matter-wave rotation sensor are illustrated in this document. As in optical gyroscopes, the presented interferometer is based on the Sagnac effect, i.e. the phase difference accumulated between two waves counter propagating in a closed loop that is rotating with r...
