Improving the accuracy of atom interferometers with ultracold sources

We report on the implementation of ultracold atoms as a source in a state of the art atom gravimeter. We perform gravity measurements with 10 nm s ^−2 statistical uncertainties in a so-far largely unexplored temperature range for such a high accuracy sensor, down to 50 nK. This allows for an improve...
