Combination of Bloch oscillations with a Ramsey-Bordé interferometer : new determination of the fine structure constant

Malo Cadoret, Estefania De Mirandes, Pierre Cladé +5

We report a new experimental scheme which combines atom interferometry with Bloch oscillations to provide a new measurement of the ratio $h/m_{\mathrm{Rb}}$. By using Bloch oscilla…
