A representation-free description of the Kasevich–Chu interferometer: a resolution of the redshift controversy

Motivated by a recent claim by Müller et al (2010 Nature 463 926–9) that an atom interferometer can serve as an atom clock to measure the gravitational redshift with an unprecedented accuracy, we provide a representation-free description of the Kasevich–Chu interferometer based on operator algebra....
