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.
The latest tagged release can installed via pip with
pip install aisim
Alternatively, if you plan to make changes to the code, use
git clone https://github.com/bleykauf/aisim.git
cd aisim
pip install -e .
For basic usage and code reference, see the documentation.
Some examples are provided in the form of Jupyter notebooks:
