Atom Interferomery at MIT![]() Our goal is to pioneer new measurement techniques
by using coherent atom optics, such as beam-splitters, mirrors and lenses
which manipulate matter waves. We operate one of the world's first
atom-beam interferometers. It is a Mach-Zhender optical interferometer
that splits deBroglie waves of matter, not light, into two physically separate
paths, and later combines the waves to produce interference fringes of
matter in space.
