A prototype differential atom interferometer for fundamental physics - Nature
Researchers have developed a prototype differential atom interferometer that successfully suppresses laser phase noise. This advancement is a critical step toward building next-generation sensors for detecting gravitational waves and dark matter.
Why it matters
This technology enables more precise measurements in fundamental physics, potentially unlocking new understandings of the universe's structure.
Gravitational waves and ultralight dark matter are among the most compelling frontiers in fundamental physics, motivating proposals for very-long-baseline atom interferometerssuch as AION 1 , MAGIS 2 , AICE 3
