Interferometric imaging with an atom laser*

Interferometers have been the key to making precision measurements since their conception over a century ago. With the creation of ultracold quantum gases, interferometry has been extended from using light to matter wave sources. Atoms, unlike light, have significant interaction strengths with electric, magnetic, and gravitational fields, making their use in interferometric measurements extremely versatile. In this context, atom lasers are a particularly powerful tool as they allow one to cover an extended area with coherent matter waves. Here, we extend our previous experiments with atom lasers, now introducing a coherent manipulation scheme to achieve interferometric imaging of potential landscapes. Recent results and future directions of this work will be discussed.
