Gravitational decoherence of atomic interferometers
arXiv:quant-ph/0202086 · doi:10.1140/epjd/e2002-00126-y
Abstract
We study the decoherence of atomic interferometers due to the scattering of stochastic gravitational waves. We evaluate the `direct' gravitational effect registered by the phase of the matter waves as well as the `indirect' effect registered by the light waves used as beam-splitters and mirrors for the matter waves. Considering as an example the space project HYPER, we show that both effects are negligible for the presently studied interferometers.
