Quantum test of the Universality of Free Fall using rubidium and potassium
H. Albers, A. Herbst, L. L. Richardson +11
We report on an improved test of the Universality of Free Fall using a rubidium-potassium dual-species matter wave interferometer. We describe our apparatus and detail challenges a…

Optomechanical resonator-enhanced atom interferometry
L. L. Richardson, D. Nath, A. Rajagopalan +16
Matter-wave interferometry and spectroscopy of optomechanical resonators offer complementary advantages. Interferometry with cold atoms is employed for accurate and long-term stabl…
