Technical Proposal for the Atom Interferometer CERN Experiment (AICE) Facility
Gianluigi Arduini, Nadja Augst, Mark G. Bason +79
We present the technical proposal for the Atom Interferometer CERN Experiment (AICE), a m vertical atom interferometer to be installed against the wall of the PX…
Trap-Quenched Matter-Wave Optics in Space
Gabriel Müller, Timothé Estrampes, Claudia Puertas González +12
Dual-species atomic sources in space promise to be the testbed for a multitude of searches in quantum gas physics such as a precise test of the Universality of Free Fall (UFF), few…
A tunable feedback-controlled magnetic trap for a magnet in free fall
Changhao Xu, Alexander Heidt, Mohammadreza Nematollahi +5
Ferromagnets in free space are predicted to exhibit pure Larmor precession at near-zero magnetic fields and provide exceptional sensitivity for magnetometry and gyroscopy. Notably,…
INTENTAS -- An entanglement-enhanced atomic sensor for microgravity
O. Anton, I. Bröckel, D. Derr +21
The INTENTAS project aims to develop an atomic sensor utilizing entangled Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in a microgravity environment. This key achievement is necessary to advan…
Letter of Intent: AICE -- 100m Atom Interferometer Experiment at CERN
Charles Baynham, Andrea Bertoldi, Diego Blas +31
We propose an O(100)m Atom Interferometer (AI) experiment -- AICE -- to be installed against a wall of the PX46 access shaft to the LHC. This experiment would probe unexplored rang…
Apparatus for quantum-mixture research in microgravity
Baptist Piest, Jonas Böhm, Timothé Estrampes +24
Experiments with ultracold quantum gases are a rapidly advancing research field with many applications in fundamental physics and quantum technology. Here, we report on a high-flux…
