Testing the Universality of Free Fall at ${10^{ - 10}}$ level by Comparing the Atoms in Different Hyperfine States with Bragg Diffraction

We have performed a precision atomic interferometry experiment on testing the universality of free fall (UFF) considering atoms' spin degree of freedom. Our experiment employs the Bragg atom interferometer with $^{87}$Rb atoms either in hyperfine state $\left| {F = 1,{m_F} = 0} \right\rangle$ or $\left| {F = 2,{m_F} = 0} \right\rangle$, and the wave packets in these two states are diffracted in one pair of Bragg beams alternatively, which can help suppress the common-mode systematic errors. We have obtained an E$\rm{\ddot{o}}$tv$\rm{\ddot{o}}$s ratio $\eta = \left( { 0.9 \pm 2.7} \right) \times {10^{ - 10}}$, and set a new record on the precision with a nearly 5 times improvement. Our experiment gives stronger restrictions on the possible UFF breaking mechanism.
