Description |
Atom interferometry is a fascinating technique in which beams of atoms are made to interfere instead of light beams as in the case of conventional interferometers. The wavelength associated with the atoms can be orders of magnitude smaller compare to light. As the precision of the interferometer depends on the wavelength, the atom interferometers are more sensitive compared to the light interferometers of the same dimensions. Hence they can be very good inertial sensors. |
