Quantum tests of the Einstein Equivalence Principle on ground and in space | |||||

Abstract |
The Einstein equivalence principle is a corner stone of general relativity and therefore challenged with growing precision by experimental tests on ground and in space. In the recent past several atom-interferometric experiments were started with the aim to perform precise tests of the universality of free fall with quantum matter displaying unique features such as a long coherence length or pure spin polarisation. They aim to reduce the present sensitivity gap between current ground based tests and the performance anticipated for future space mission, such as STE-QUEST. Acknowledgement: The M4 proposal of STE-QUEST was established by a consortium of European scientists under the lead of Peter Wolf. Part of the work is subject of the DRL project QUANTUS as well as of the SFB geo-Q. |
