Thanks to the incredible support of UC San Diego EVC, Division of Physical Sciences, and the Department of Physics, new labs were renovated over a period of three years and designed by HDR. The labs were almost finished on 4/19 and they are currently undergoing final tune up to be stable under the new extreme weather driven by climate change (outdoors being hotter and either extremely humid or dry).

We started moving optical tables on 4/15/19, and the biggest strontium vacuum chamber on 6/19, and by 7/19 everything was back as we were before moving.
Parameter | Target | Performance |

+/- 0.06 F reported 🙂 |
Humidity | +/- 5 % RH | +/- 3 % RH |
Cooling | 60+ kW (air + water) | So far so good 🙂 |
Air quality | ISO 7 cleanroom | ISO 8 |
Acoustic 63Hz – 8kHz |

EM/RF near DC – 10 kHz |
<<1mG pk to pk | ~ 0.6 mG at 60 Hz pk to pk (elevator drives a 0.4 mG signal) |
Vibrations, floor | VC-E | VC-E |
Our gyro is truly portable 😀
