Tests of Quantum Mechanics and Gravitation with Atom Interferometry
Recent de Broglie wave interference experiments with atoms have achieved wavepacket separations as large as 54 cm over time intervals of 2 sec. These experiments, and their impact on gravitational and quantum physics, will be discussed.
Joint session with the Physics of Information Colloquium and Lisbon Training Workshop on Quantum Technologies in Space.
