- The Indian scientists at the Raman Research Institute (RRI) of Bengaluru have designed a new image-correction algorithm.
- It significantly enhances the study of ultracold atoms.
- It improves the clarity of images captured during experiments with cold atoms, or atoms at temperatures near absolute zero.
- The new algorithm effectively reduces interference fringes—unwanted dark and bright patterns that can obscure critical data—by 50 percent.
- These fringes can lead to inaccuracies when determining key atomic parameters such as number, temperature, and dynamics on short timescales.
- To study these ultracold atoms, researchers typically use magneto-optical traps and high-power laser cooling techniques.
