Abstract

En 中文
The interference of matter waves is a direct consequence of wave-particle duality and lies at the heart of quantum mechanics. Today, with the validity of quantum theory being widely ascertained, we are beyond proof-of-principle demonstrations and are transforming this phenomenon into a measurement tool for practical applications via the development of quantum technologies. Atom interferometry is a special type of quantum technology, which is particularly suitable for the detection of gravity. Its potential for absolute, low-drift measurements with options for noise suppression could bring wide-ranging benefits for applications that are important across economies. This journey from the laboratory into the real world of applications requires the understanding and mitigation of the effects of external influences on the system.
