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…
Detecting a logarithmic nonlinearity in the Schrödinger equation using Bose-Einstein condensates
Sascha Vowe, Claus Lämmerzahl, Markus Krutzik
We study the effect of a logarithmic nonlinearity in the Schrödinger equation (SE) on the dynamics of a freely expanding Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). The logarithmic nonlinearit…
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…
Evaporative cooling from an optical dipole trap in microgravity
Christian Vogt, Marian Woltmann, Henning Albers +4
In recent years, cold atoms could prove their scientific impact not only on ground but in microgravity environments such as the drop tower in Bremen, sounding rockets and parabolic…
Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: a roadmap
Leor Barack, Vitor Cardoso, Samaya Nissanke +203
The grand challenges of contemporary fundamental physics---dark matter, dark energy, vacuum energy, inflation and early universe cosmology, singularities and the hierarchy problem-…
Deep space experiment to measure
Michael R. Feldman, John D. Anderson, Gerald Schubert +3
Responding to calls from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for new proposals to measure the gravitational constant , we offer an interesting experiment in deep space employi…
