Quantum Test of the Universality of Free Fall
Abstract
We simultaneously measure the gravitationally-induced phase shift in two Raman-type matter-wave interferometers operated with laser-cooled ensembles of 87Rb and 39K atoms. Our measurement yields an E\"otv\"os ratio of ηRb,K=(0.3 5.4)× 10-7. We briefly estimate possible bias effects and present strategies for future improvements.
