Description
Atom interferometers are precision instruments, currently capable of measuring forces an unprecedented precision, with this precision becoming more precise with the development of new techniques. Using atomic interferometers, a parameter search can be made to investigate the dark contents of the vacuum and shed some light on fundamental physics questions such as "What is the nature of dark energy?". A prototype device is currently under construction at the University of Liverpool, and this talk will discuss the atom interferometer concept and the construction progress.
