Atom interferometers are powerful tools for both measurements in fundamental physics and inertial sensing applications. Their performance, however, has been limited by the available interrogation time of freely falling atoms in a…
We developed a gravity-gradiometer based on atom interferometry for the determination of the Newtonian gravitational constant \textit{G}. The apparatus, combining a Rb fountain, Raman interferometry and a juggling scheme for fast launch of…
The study of the gravitational redshift\,---\,a relative wavelength increase of $\approx 2 \times 10^{-6}$ was predicted for solar radiation by Einstein in 1908\,---\,is still an important subject in modern physics. In a dispute whether or…
Atom interferometry is a natural laboratory for precision tests of general relativity, but there is no simple relationship between atom interferometer phase and geometric properties of spacetime. Here we show that a different atom…
We derive an expression for the phase shift of an atom interferometer in a gravitational field taking into account both the finite duration of the light pulses and the effect of a small perturbing potential added to a stronger uniform…
We make some comments about the results we obtained in Phys. Rev. Lett. 86,3392(2001), and in Phys. Rev. Lett.87, 177206 (2001), and show that the conclusion of a recent paper [cond-mat/0409495] leveling some criticism on our results is, in…
In a recent Letter, Jiang, Sun, Xie and Wang [Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 076802 (2004), cond-mat/0408261] study transport through an interacting quantum dot embedded in one arm of an Aharonov-Bohm interferometer. Based on a theoretical analysis…
It is shown that criticism in the paper: "On observation of neutron quantum states in the Earth's gravitational field." Phys.Rev.D {\bf 81} 052008 (2010) of the experiment with neutrons to observe bound levels in gravity field is not…
Recent studies [Class. Quant. Grav. 42, 03LT01 (2025); Phys. Rev. D 111, 045023 (2025)] indicate that in a nested sequence of Rindler wedges, vacuum of former Rindler frame appears to be thermally populated for an observer in shifted…
Following a recent proposal [C. Muschik et. al., Phys. Rev. A 83, 052312 (2011)], engineered dissipative processes have been used for the generation of stable entanglement between two macroscopic atomic ensembles at room temperature [H.…
This paper has been withdrawn by the author(s), due a crucial error on the entanglement of $\Gamma$ registers.
The research on cold-atom interferometers gathers a large community of about 50 groups worldwide both in the academic and now in the industrial sectors. The interest in this sub-field of quantum sensing and metrology lies in the large panel…
We present a new gravitational lens modelling technique designed to model high-resolution interferometric observations with large numbers of visibilities without the need to pre-average the data in time or frequency. We demonstrate the…
The paper of Unal [J. Math. Phys. 59, 062104 (2018)], though worthy of attention, contains a conclusion that is in error and may mislead the efforts to extend his results. The aim of the present note is twofold: we provide a correction to…
This paper has been withdrawn due to a crucial theoretical and experimental error.
We describe an atom interferometer to study the coherence of atoms reflected from an evanescent wave mirror. The interferometer is sensitive to the loss of phase coherence induced by the defects in the mirror. The results are consistent…
We report the measurement of a Bell inequality violation with a single atom and a single photon prepared in a probabilistic entangled state. This is the first demonstration of such a violation with particles of different species. The…
The sensitivity of atom interferometers is usually limited by the observation time of a free falling cloud of atoms in Earth's gravitational field. Considerable efforts are currently made to increase this observation time, e.g. in fountain…
Atomic interference experiments test the universality of the coupling between matter-energy and gravity at different spacetime points, thus being in principle able to probe possible violations of the universality of the gravitational…
Quantum entanglement is an important resource for next-generation technologies. We show that diffracting systems can supplant beam splitters, and more generally interferometric networks, for entanglement generation -- systems as simple as…
