A Dual-Species Atom Interferometer Payload for Operation on Sounding Rockets
Michael Elsen, Baptist Piest, Fabian Adam +36
We report on the design and the construction of a sounding rocket payload capable of performing atom interferometry with Bose-Einstein condensates of K and Rb. The ap…
CARIOQA: Definition of a Quantum Pathfinder Mission
T. Lévèque, C. Fallet, J. Lefebve +12
A strong potential gain for space applications is expected from the anticipated performances of inertial sensors based on cold atom interferometry (CAI) that measure the accelerati…
Ultracold atom interferometry in space
Maike D. Lachmann, Holger Ahlers, Dennis Becker +21
Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in free fall constitute a promising source for space-borne matter-wave interferometry. Indeed, BECs enjoy a slowly expanding wave function, display…
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…
