Atom interferometry with ultra-cold alkaline-earth atoms for precision test of fundamental physics.
Today, matter-wave interferometers as clocks and gravimeters allow for precision measurements of time and gravity at unprecedented level. In all these sensors, the exquisite control of both internal (electronic) and external (center of mass motion) degrees of freedom of ultra-cold atomic samples, enable us to study interactions at their most basic, quantum level, paving the way for new tests of fundamental physics. For all these applications, novel interferometric schemes based on narrow intercombination transitions of alkali-earth (alkali-earth like) atoms, has recently gained attention. In this talk, I'll review some of the most recent results obtained by our group with strontium and cadmium atoms. Furthermore, novel spin-squeezing techniques with direct application to narrow transitions will also be discussed.
