Creation of a strontium microtrap : towards a spin-squeezed atomic clock

This thesis details the development of the pre-requisite experimental tools to create a proof-of-principle spin-squeezed atomic clock based upon an array of individual strontium atoms using Rydberg-dressed interactions. We experimentally and theoretically study Rydberg-dressing in a strontium narrow...
