All-Optical Matter-Wave Lens using Time-Averaged Potentials
H. Albers, R. Corgier, A. Herbst +11
The stability of matter-wave sensors benefits from interrogating large-particle-number atomic ensembles at high cycle rates. The use of quantum-degenerate gases with their low effe…
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…
Space-borne Bose-Einstein condensation for precision interferometry
Dennis Becker, Maike D. Lachmann, Stephan T. Seidel +32
Space offers virtually unlimited free-fall in gravity. Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) enables ineffable low kinetic energies corresponding to pico- or even femtokelvins. The comb…
Miniaturized lab system for future cold atom experiments in microgravity
Sascha Kulas, Christian Vogt, Andreas Resch +18
We present the technical realization of a compact system for performing experiments with cold and atoms in microgravity in the future. The whol…
A high-flux BEC source for mobile atom interferometers
Jan Rudolph, Waldemar Herr, Christoph Grzeschik +12
Quantum sensors based on coherent matter-waves are precise measurement devices whose ultimate accuracy is achieved with Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) in extended free fall. This…
Differential atom interferometry with Rb and Rb for testing the UFF in STE-QUEST
C Schubert, J Hartwig, H Ahlers +18
In this paper we discuss in detail an experimental scheme to test the universality of free fall (UFF) with a differential Rb / Rb atom interferometer applicable for e…
