Reply to comment on: ‘Does an atom interferometer test the gravitational redshift at the Compton frequency?’

Peter Wolf, Luc Blanchet A, Christian Bordé +3 more

We reply to a comment by Hohensee et al on: 'Does an atom interferometer test the gravitational redshift at the Compton frequency' and show that the main result of that paper, namely that atom interferometric gravimeters do not test the gravitational redshift at the Compton frequency, remains valid.

Precision Measurement of Gravity with Cold Atoms in an Optical Lattice and Comparison with a Classical Gravimeter

N. Poli, F.-Y. Wang, Marco G. Tarallo +3 more

We report on a precision measurement of gravitational acceleration using ultracold strontium atoms confined in an amplitude-modulated vertical optical lattice. An uncertainty Δg/g ≈ 10(-7) is reached by measuring at the 5th harmonic of the Bloch frequency. The value obtained with this microscopic quantum system is consistent with the one measured with a classical gravimeter. Using lattice modulation to prepare the atomic sample, we also achieve high visibility of Bloch oscillations for ∼ 20 s. These results can be of relevance for testing gravitational redshift and Newtonian law at micrometer scale.
