Atom-interferometric test of the universality of gravitational redshift and free fall

Introducing internal-state transitions simultaneously on each branch of a light-pulse atom interferometer, we propose a scheme that is concurrently sensitive to both violations of the universality of free fall and gravitational redshift, two premises of general relativity. In contrast to redshift te...
