Cold Atom Lab (CAL)
NASA TechPort describes this completed Physical Sciences Research Program project as the Cold Atom Laboratory technology demonstrator that produced ultra-cold Bose-Einstein condensates on the International Space Station. CAL matured atom chips, optical and laser systems, fiber links, and control electronics for long-duration quantum experiments and demonstrated atom interferometry foundations for precision navigation, gravity science, atomic clocks, and future quantum sensors.
