Systematic errors in high-precision gravity measurements by light-pulse atom interferometry on the ground and in space
We focus on the fact that light-pulse atom interferometers measure the atoms' acceleration with only three data points per drop. As a result, the measured effect of the gravity gradient is systematically larger than the true one, an error linear with the gradient and quadratic in time almost un...
