Compact atomic gravimeter based on a pulsed and accelerated optical lattice
Manuel Andia, Raphael Jannin, François Nez +3
We present a new scheme of compact atomic gravimeter based on atom interferometry. Atoms are maintained against gravity using a sequence of coherent accelerations performed by the…

Determination of the fine structure constant with atom interferometry and Bloch oscillations
Malo Cadoret, Estefania De Mirandes, Pierre Cladé +5
We use Bloch oscillations to transfer coherently many photon momenta to atoms. Then we can measure accurately the recoil velocity and deduce the fine structure constant…
