Finding out what the universe is actually made of remains one of the ultimate ...

Atom interferometers usually control matter waves and particularly particle velocity using lasers. Thus, the growth of atom interferometer application has been strongly tied to the development of ...

A prototype quantum sensor developed by researchers at Imperial has demonstrated for the first time that a key principle ...

Large-scale atom interferometers, analogous to optical interferometers but measuring the difference in phase between atomic matter waves on different paths, are intended to be key elements in future ...

Extremely precise measurements are possible using atom interferometers that employ the wave character of atoms for this purpose. They can thus be used, for example, to measure the gravitational field ...

The trouble with listening for the faintest events in the universe is that your own instrument often drowns them out. However ...

Physicists in Israel have created a quantum interferometer on an atom chip. This device can be used to explore the fundamentals of quantum theory by studying the interference pattern between two beams ...

This includes proposals such as the Atom Interferometry CERN Experiment (AICE), which would apply similar techniques over ...
