Abstract
Ultracold quantum gases are ideal sources for high-precision space-borne sensing. This paper reports on experiments with the Cold Atom Lab aboard the International Space Station, achieving exquisite control over the quantum state of single ⁸⁷Rb Bose-Einstein condensates. Fast transport protocols shuttle the atomic cloud with sub-micrometer accuracy, and matter-wave lensing techniques reduce expansion energy to below 100 pK. This exquisite control paves the way for high-precision measurements and various research applications.
