Perspectives and Opportunities: A Molecular Toolkit for Fundamental Physics and Matter Wave Interferometry in Microgravity

Quantum Physics 2022-07-05 v1

Abstract

The study of molecular physics using ultracold gases has provided a unique probe into the fundamental properties of nature and offers new tools for quantum technologies. In this article we outline how the use of a space environment to study ultracold molecular physics opens opportunities for 1) exploring ultra-low energy regimes of molecular physics with high efficiency, 2) providing a toolbox of capabilities for fundamental physics, and 3) enabling new classes of matter-wave interferometers with applications in precision measurement for fundamental and many-body physics.
