The Bose-Einstein Condensate and Cold Atom Laboratory

Kai Frye, Sven Abend, Wolfgang Bartosch +48

Microgravity eases several constraints limiting experiments with ultracold and condensed atoms on ground. It enables extended times of flight without suspension and eliminates the…

ELGAR -- a European Laboratory for Gravitation and Atom-interferometric Research

B. Canuel, S. Abend, P. Amaro-Seoane +55

Gravitational Waves (GWs) were observed for the first time in 2015, one century after Einstein predicted their existence. There is now growing interest to extend the detection band…

A single-laser alternating-frequency magneto-optical trap

B. Wiegand, B. Leykauf, K. Döringshoff +3

In this paper, we present a technique for magneto-optical cooling and trapping of neutral atoms using a single laser. The alternating-frequency magneto-optical trap (AF-MOT) uses a…

AEDGE: Atomic Experiment for Dark Matter and Gravity Exploration in Space

Yousef Abou El-Neaj, Cristiano Alpigiani, Sana Amairi-Pyka +129

We propose in this White Paper a concept for a space experiment using cold atoms to search for ultra-light dark matter, and to detect gravitational waves in the frequency range bet…

ZERODUR based optical systems for quantum gas experiments in space

Moritz Mihm, Jean Pierre Marburger, André Wenzlawski +6

Numerous quantum technologies make use of a microgravity environment e.g. in space. Operating in this extreme environment makes high demands on the experiment and especially the la…
