configuration#

Here we implement the Configuration class, that allows to define consistent configurations that are later fed to the Simulation objects.

Quick description#

A configuration consists of:

  • a atom (Atom)

  • a collection of laser beams (LaserBeam)

  • a collection of magnetic Fields (MagneticField)

  • a collection of forces (Force)

  • a collection of zones (Zone)

The coupling between atoms and lasers is stored in a atomlight dictionnary, that is setup with the add_atomlight_coupling() method.

class atomsmltr.simulation.configurator.Configuration(object_list: EnvObject | list = None, atom: Atom = None)[source]#

Bases: object

Defines a configuration for the simulation

Parameters:

  • object_list (EnvObject | list, optional) – list of environment objects (lasers, magnetic fields, zones, forces) to include in the configuration, by default None

  • atom (Atom, optional) – atom for the simulation, by default None

Examples

# - imports
from atomsmltr.environment import GaussianLaserBeam, MagneticOffset, Limits
from atomsmltr.atoms import Ytterbium
from atomsmltr.simulation import Configuration

# - setup environment objects
laser = GaussianLaserBeam(tag="laser")
mag_offset = MagneticOffset(offset=(0,1,0), tag="offset")
xlim = Limits(min=0, max=10, axis=0, target="position")

# - setup atom
yb = Ytterbium()

# - init configuration
config = Configuration(object_list=[laser, mag_offset, xlim], atom=yb)

# - print info
config.print_info()
add_atomlight_coupling(laser: str | LaserBeam, transition: str, detuning: float, verbose: bool = False, override: bool = False)[source]#

Adds a atom-light coupling element in the configuration

Parameters:

  • laser (str | LaserBeam) – either a laser tag or a laser object. This object/tag has to be in the configuration laser list

  • transition (str) – the tag of the transition. Should be part of the collection’s atom transition list

  • detuning (float) – detuning of the laser w.r.t to transition (rad/s), see notes for the definition

  • verbose (bool, optional) – if True, will print messages when adding the couplint, by default False

  • override (bool, optional) – if set to True, if a coupling between the laser and the transition already exists, then it will be overriden. Otherwise it will raise an error, by default False

Notes

The detuning δ is defined as:

δ = ωL - ω0

Where ωL is the laser pulsation and ω0 the atomic transition pulsation (hence, in rad/s) Stated otherwise, detuning units is in units of 2π x Hz

add_objects(obj: EnvObject | list, verbose=False)[source]#

Add environment objects to the configuration.

Parameters:

  • obj (EnvObject | list) – a environment object or a list of objects

  • verbose (bool, optional) – if set to True messages are displayed. Defaults to False.

Notes

The function takes a single environment object (laser, magnetic field…) or a collection of objects in the form of a tuple or a list.

Objects of different subtypes can be added at the same time: the method will add them to the correct collection based on their classes

Note

The addition operator + also allows to add objects. Hence, conf.add_objects([obj1, obj2, ...]) is equivalent to conf += obj1, obj2 , ...

Examples

... init a proper config first and env objects

# add objects
config.add_objects(laser1)
config.add_objects([mag_field, zone1, zone2, laser2])

# also works with += operator*
config += laser3, laser4
property atom: Atom#

the configuration atom

Type:

“Atom

getB(position: ndarray) → ndarray[source]#

Returns the total magnetic field at a given position in the lab frame

Parameters:

position (array, shape (3,) or (n1, n2, .., 3)) – array of cartesian coordinates in the lab frame

Returns:

B – magnetic field at the position. shape matches the one of position

Return type:

array, shape (3,) or (n1, n2, .., 3)

Notes

position is an array_like object, with shape (3,) or (n1, n2, .., 3).

In all cases, the last dimension contains cordinates (x, y, z), in meter and in the lab frame

Example

... init a proper config first
import numpy as np

# generate a grid of 100 x 100 points in the (x, y) plane
grid = np.mgrid[-10:10:100j, -10:-10:100j, 0:0:1j]
grid = np.squeeze(grid)

# get coordinates arrays (for plotting for instance)
X, Y, Z = grid

# generate the requested (..., 3) shaped position array
position = grid.T

# compute magnetic field
B = config.getB(position)

# get magnetic field components
Bx, By, Bz = B.T

# show shapes (to illustrate what we did)
print(f"{grid.shape=}")
print(f"{position.shape=}")
print(f"{B.shape=}")
print(f"{X.shape=}")
print(f"{Bx.shape=}")

This returns

grid.shape=(3, 100, 100)
position.shape=(100, 100, 3)
B.shape=(100, 100, 3)
X.shape=(100, 100)
