2 Testing General lativity with Atom Interferometry Savas Dimopoulos with Peter Graham Jason Hogan Mark Kasevich
3 Testing Large Distance GR Cosmological Constant Problem suggests Our understanding of GR is incomplete (unless there are ~ universes!) CCP+DM inspired proposals for IR modifications: Damour-Polyakov DGP ADDG (non-locality) Ghost condensation... MOND Beckenstein... Brans-Dicke Bimetric...
4 Precision long distance tests GR: Principle of Equivalence tested to most other tests ~ 10-3 to 10-5 time delay (Cassini tracking) light deflection (VLBI) perihelion shift Nordtvedt effect Lense-Thirring (GPB) QED: 10 digit accuracy g-2, EDMs, etc
5 Precision GR tests mostly use: Planets and photons over astronomical distances Can we study GR using atoms over short distances (meters)?
6 Precision GR tests mostly use: Planets and photons over astronomical distances Can we study GR using atoms over short distances (meters)? Yes, thanks to the tremendous advances in Atom Interferometry Unprecedented Precision (see Nobel Lectures 97, 01, 05 ) Several control variables (v, t, ω, h) We are at crossroads where atoms may compete with astrophysical tests of GR
