A quantum sensor: simultaneous precision gravimetry and magnetic gradiometry with a Bose-Einstein condensate

Kyle S. Hardman, Patrick J. Everitt, Gordon D. McDonald +7

A Bose-Einstein condensate is used as an atomic source for a high precision sensor. A $5\times 10^6$ atom F=1 spinor condensate of ${}^{87}$Rb is released into free fall for up to $7…
