Understanding the gravitational and magnetic environment of a very long baseline atom interferometer
By utilizing the quadratic dependency of the interferometry phase on time,
the Hannover Very Long Baseline Atom Interferometer facility (VLBAI) aims for
sub nm/s gravity measurement sensitivity. With its 10 m vertical baseline,
VLBAI offers promising prospects in testing fundamental physics at the
interface between quantum mechanics and general relativity. Here we discuss the
challenges imposed on controlling VLBAI's magnetic and gravitational
environment and report on their effect on the device's accuracy. Within the
inner 8 m of the magnetic shield, residual magnetic field gradients expect to
cause a bias acceleration of only 610 m/s while we evaluate
the bias shift due to the facility's non-linear gravity gradient to 2.6
nm/s. The model allows the VLBAI facility to be a reference to other mobile
devices for calibration purposes with an uncertainty below the 10 nm/s
level.Comment: Presented at the Ninth Meeting on CPT and Lorentz Symmetry,

Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry:Workshop Summary
This document presents a summary of the 2023 Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry Workshop hosted by CERN. The workshop brought together experts from around the world to discuss the exciting developments in large-scale atom interferometer (AI) prototypes and their potential for detecting ultralight dark matter and gravitational waves. The primary objective of the workshop was to lay the groundwork for an international TVLBAI proto-collaboration. This collaboration aims to unite researchers from different institutions to strategize and secure funding for terrestrial large-scale AI projects. The ultimate goal is to create a roadmap detailing the design and technology choices for one or more km-scale detectors, which will be operational in the mid-2030s. The key sections of this report present the physics case and technical challenges, together with a comprehensive overview of the discussions at the workshop together with the main conclusions
