Space magnetometry with a differential atom interferometer
Matthias Meister, Gabriel Müller, Patrick Boegel +16
Atom interferometers deployed in space are excellent tools for high precision measurements, navigation, or Earth observation. In particular, differential interferometric setups fea…
Large, ultra-flat optical traps for uniform quantum gases
Kai Frye-Arndt, Matthew Glaysher, Marius Glaeser +7
Ultracold atomic gases with uniform density can be created by flat-bottom optical traps. These gases provide an ideal platform to study many-body physics in a system that allows fo…
STE-QUEST -- Space Time Explorer and QUantum Equivalence principle Space Test: The 2022 medium-class mission concept
Naceur Gaaloul, Holger Ahlers, Leonardo Badurina +45
Space-borne quantum technologies, particularly those based on atom interferometry, are heralding a new era of strategic and robust space exploration. The unique conditions of space…
Principal Component Analysis for Spatial Phase Reconstruction in Atom Interferometry
Stefan Seckmeyer, Holger Ahlers, Jan-Niclas Kirsten-Siemà +4
Atom interferometers are sensitive to a wide range of forces by encoding their signals in interference patterns of matter waves. To estimate the magnitude of these forces, the unde…
