We propose an innovative concept for a quantum gravimeter, where atoms prepared in a Heisenberg-limited state perform a single bounce on a mirror followed by a free fall. This quantum gravimeter produces a simple and robust interference…
CERN's AD/ELENA ``antimatter factory'' - unique worldwide - serves several experiments, all of which use electromagnetic traps to accumulate antiprotons for fundamental science. The GBAR experiment employs a charge-exchange reaction between…
