AISim ‒ Simulations for light-pulse atom interferometry
AISim is a Python package for simulating light-pulse atom
interferometers.
It uses dedicated objects to model the laser beams, the atomic ensemble
and the detection system and store experimental parameters in a neat
way. After you define these objects you can use built-in propagators to
simulate internal and external degrees of freedom of cold atoms.
Installation
The latest tagged release can installed via pip with
pip install aisim
or via conda with
conda install -c conda-forge aisim
Alternatively, if you plan to make changes to the code, use
git clone https://github.com/bleykauf/aisim.git
cd aisim
python setup.py develop
Usage
