Fixed and Adjustable Picas

Adjustable Picas Assembly Model with Coils and Source Cell on a breadboard

Simpler 2D+ MOTs

Picas replaces a free-space optical setup with a compact beam-delivery package designed for straightforward integration. With an Infleqtion CASC, it produces a typical flux of more than 10^9 pre-cooled atoms per second.

Select a fixed or adjustable magnetic-field configuration, then choose rubidium or cesium and optional photodiodes.

Benefits

More Experiment, Less Setup

Select the optical and magnetic-field package that fits your 2D+ MOT, without rebuilding the beam-delivery system.

Alignment-Free Optics

Integrated optomechanics deliver the 2D+ MOT beam configuration without routine free-space alignment.
Choose Rubidium or Cesium

Select 780 nm optics for rubidium or 852 nm optics for cesium.
Monitor Beam Power

Optional photodiodes support polarization cleaning and power monitoring across all three beams.
Built for Quantum Cores

Designed to integrate with the Infleqtion CASC and matched fixed-magnet or adjustable-coil assemblies.
