According to Fermilab, the interferometer will occupy a 328 feet shaft at its facilities. This was used years ago for access ...

A quantum trick based on interferometric measurements allows a team of researchers at LMU to detect even the smallest ...

Atom interferometry has emerged as a transformative approach in both fundamental physics and practical applications, utilising the wave nature of atoms to measure minute effects of gravity, rotation ...

Toward the development of a “quantum compass” for navigation when GPS signal unavailable. Sandia scientists prepare a rubidium cold-atom cell for an interferometry experiment. Scientists are ...

Extremely precise measurements are possible using atom interferometers that employ the wave character of atoms for this purpose. They can thus be used, for example, to measure the gravitational field ...
