An Arduino-based device for characterizing magnetic shielding.

magtrack Magtrack is a device I built to characterize mu-metal magnetic shielding being built around a new atom interferometer at Stanford University. Background This summer I have had the amazing opportunity to work in Jason Hogan’s lab and join their effort to build a 10-meter atom interferometer, which will be used to search for ultralight dark matter, test quantum mechanics in new regimes, and detect gravitational waves. An atom interferometer is a device that uses lasers to split and recombine matter waves, taking advantage of the fact that atoms behave like waves at the quantum level. In
