Atom Wave Interferometer.
Abstract
The development of atom interferometers represents a significant advance in atomic physics. They give us the ability to measure accurately interactions that shift the phase or energy of the particles in one of the two interfering paths in the interferometer. This allows qualitatively new measurements in atomic and molecular physics and fundamental tests of quantum mechanics (especially in areas involving atom-photon interactions), and provides new ways to measure accelerations and rotations.
