Abstract
A Bose-Einstein condensate is used as an atomic source for a high precision sensor. A atom F=1 spinor condensate of Rb is released into free fall for up to ms and probed with a Mach-Zehnder atom interferometer based on Bragg transitions. The Bragg interferometer simultaneously addresses the three magnetic states, , facilitating a simultaneous measurement of the acceleration due to gravity with an asymptotic precision of g/g and the magnetic field gradient to a precision pT/m.
