Since the first proof-of-principle experiments over 25 years ago, atom interferometry has
matured to a versatile tool that can be used in fundamental research in particle physics …

The technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP), which allows efficient and
selective population transfer between quantum states without suffering loss due to …

Atomtronics deals with matter-wave circuits of ultracold atoms manipulated through
magnetic or laser-generated guides with different shapes and intensities. In this way, new …

An ensemble of atoms can operate as a quantum sensor by placing atoms in a
superposition of two different states. Upon measurement of the sensor, each atom is …

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 …

Abstract Changes of surface gravity on Earth are of great interest in geodesy, earth sciences
and natural resource exploration. They are indicative of Earth system's mass redistributions …

We simultaneously measure the gravitationally induced phase shift in two Raman-type
matter-wave interferometers operated with laser-cooled ensembles of Rb 87 and K 39 …

Quantum Optics VI documents the most recent theoretical and experimental developments
in this field, with particular emphasis on atomic optics and interferometry, which is a new and …

We present an ultrahigh-sensitivity gravimeter based on an 87 Rb atom interferometer using
stimulated Raman transitions. Compared with our previous work, a two-dimensional …
