title: Atom interferometer
text: An atom interferometer uses the wave-like nature of atoms in order to produce interference. In atom interferometers, the roles of matter and light are reversed compared to the laser based interferometers, i.e. the beam splitter and mirrors are lasers while the source emits matter waves rather than light. Atom interferometers measure the difference in phase between atomic matter waves along different paths. Matter waves are controlled an manipulated using systems of lasers. Atom interferometers h
