Quantum sensor technology based on matter-wave interferometry explores new methods for the development of inertial sensors for enabling high-precision measurements of rotations and accelerations with ...

namely the atom interferometer. Back in 1924 French physicist Louis de Broglie proposed that matter behaves like a wave, with a wavelength equal to the Planck constant divided by its momentum.

W hat will it take to detect dark matter—the invisible, nigh-intangible substance that might make up five-sixths of all matter in the universe? Dark matter should be all around ...

a new kind of atom interferometers for dark-matter detection, gravitational antennas and Earth observation, atomic lensing with Bose-Einstein condensates and ultracold mixtures, and relativistic ...

Assuming dark matter exists, its interactions with ... wave that exists along two paths at once. In an atom interferometer, lasers split a wave-like atom into two waves, send those waves on ...

As the authors note, the sensitivity of interferometers “scales with the momentum imparted by the grating to the matter wave,” but the size of grating periods are currently limited by the ...

LIGO has two widely-separated 4-km-long interferometers -- in Hanford, Washington, and Livingston, Louisiana -- that work together to detect gravitational waves by employing high-power laser beams ...

Coda wave interferometry (CWI) is an innovative non-destructive testing technique that has gained traction in the assessment of concrete structures. This method utilizes the analysis of ultrasonic ...
