๐บ๏ธ Site Map
Where should you start?
AMO Toolkit has one purpose per page. This is the single map of all of them, in the same
four categories as the top nav, each in a sensible reading order, plus the full step-by-step
version of the six workflow paths introduced on the home page.
If you only bookmark one page besides the tools you use every day, make it this one. Every
other listing on the site — the home page's featured grid, the intent cards, the nav
dropdowns — is a different lens on the same 32 pages. This page is the lens with no
redundancy: one category, one order, one line per page.
Recommended sequences
Pick the workflow closest to your actual problem. Each path is a sensible order through pages you'd otherwise have to piece together yourself.
๐งฒ
Build a MOT or tweezer setup
For new lab members and experiment builders
๐
Stabilize and deliver lasers
For debugging locks, fibers, and polarization
๐ท
Image and diagnose single atoms
For survival, SNR, and temperature measurements
โ๏ธ
Understand cooling and trapping
For moving from MOT intuition to tweezer ground-state cooling
๐ป
Work on neutral-atom quantum computing
For qubits, gates, benchmarking, and platform choices
๐
Prepare for AMO career moves
For undergrads, grad students, postdocs, and industry interviews
Build the apparatus
Design and assemble an AMO experiment, in the order most builds actually need them.
