Quantum Galileo Interferometer

Caption: The 2D MOT system that delivers cold atoms to the experimental chamber. In the center is a glass chamber held in a vacuum between coils that create magnetic fields. The atoms pass into the experimental chamber through the tiny hole visible in the center of the yellow reflective surface. Credit: Or Dubkovsky.

Ben-Gurion University and Roger Penrose in a Quantum Test of Einstein: "Quantum Galileo" Examines the Equivalence Principle

Special Interview: Research led by Prof. Ron Pullman of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, and co-authored by Sir Roger Penrose of Oxford University, presents a first-of-its-kind atomic interferometer. The experiment measured the phase of a rubidium atom
