Interacting quantum mixtures for precision atom interferometry

Robin Corgier, Sina Loriani, Holger Ahlers +5

We present a source engineering concept for a binary quantum mixture suitable as input for differential, precision atom interferometry with drift times of several seconds. To solve…

Testing the universality of free fall with rubidium and ytterbium in a very large baseline atom interferometer

Jonas Hartwig, Sven Abend, Christian Schubert +6

We propose a very long baseline atom interferometer test of Einstein's equivalence principle (EEP) with ytterbium and rubidium extending over 10m of free fall. In view of existing…

STE-QUEST - Test of the Universality of Free Fall Using Cold Atom Interferometry

D. Aguilera, H. Ahlers, B. Battelier +63

The theory of general relativity describes macroscopic phenomena driven by the influence of gravity while quantum mechanics brilliantly accounts for microscopic effects. Despite th…
