Title | Tests of quantum mechanics and gravitation with atom interferometry |
Abstract | Recent de Broglie wave interference experiments with atoms have achieved wavepacket separations as large as 54 cm over time intervals of 2 sec [1, 2]. These experiments, and their impact on gravitational and quantum physics, will be discussed. [1] Kovachy, T. et al. Quantum superposition at the half-metre scale.
