Jan Rudolph

Jan Rudolph is a Physical Science Research Scientist in the Department of Physics at Stanford University. His work focuses on advanced atom interferometry techniques, quantum measurement systems, and applications in fundamental physics research. He holds a Dr. rer. nat. in Physics from Leibniz Universität Hannover (2016).

Rudolph's research emphasizes long-baseline atom interferometry (e.g., MAGIS-100 project), dark matter detection, and ultracold atom manipulation. He has contributed to workshop initiatives advancing terrestrial interferometry and developed innovative tools like QMATCH for atomic charge measurement.

His experimental work spans magnetic shielding design, holographic beam shaping, and collinear photon excitation methods. Key projects include gravitational wave detection concepts and space-borne atomic sensor development for fundamental physics tests.
