Abstract

Atomic interferometers measure phase differences along paths with exceptional precision. Tweezer interferometry represents a novel approach for this measurement by guiding particles along predefined trajectories. This study explores the feasibility of using condensed bosons in tweezer interferometry. Unlike the factor N enhancement expected with classical ensembles, using NOON state interferometry can yield an enhancement by a factor of N. We consider a protocol for a tweezer-based NOON state interferometer that includes adiabatic splitting and merging of condensed bosons followed by adiabatic branching for phase encoding. Our theoretical analysis focuses on the conditions necessary to achieve adiabaticity and avoid spontaneous symmetry breaking. Additionally, we demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed scheme and estimate the time required to perform these sweep processes.
