Jointly with the Lisbon Training Workshop on Quantum Technologies in Space
Tests of Quantum Mechanics and
Gravitation with Atom Interferometry
Mark Kasevich
(Stanford University)
Date: Wednesday 13 September 2017
Time: 18:00
Venue: Abreu Faro Amphitheatre, Interdisciplinary Building, IST, Lisbon
Abstract:
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.
Organized by:
- Doctoral Programme in the Physics and Mathematics of Information, Instituto Superior Técnico
