Space-borne quantum test of the weak equivalence principle at the 10−17 level — •Sina Loriani, Sven Abend, Dennis Schlippert, Christian Schubert, Ernst Maria Rasel, and Naceur Gaaloul — Institut für Quantenoptik and Centre for Quantum Engineering and Space-Time Research (QUEST), Leibniz Universität Hannover, Welfengarten 1, D- 30167 Hannover, Germany

Matter wave interferometry provides a unique access to the interface of quantum theory and gravity and is well suited for probing various aspects of general relativity, ranging from its postulates as the equivalence principle to its implications such as gravitational waves. In this contribution, we present a dedicated satellite mission for testing the universality of free fall to 10−17 as proposed for the ESA Voyage 2050 initiative. The theoretical advances and technological maturity that would allow reaching this performance will be highlighted.

We acknowledge financial support from DFG through CRC 1227 (DQ-mat), project B07, CRC 1128 geo-Q, EXC-2123 Quantum Fron- tiers, the German Space Agency (DLR) with funds provided by the BMWi due to an enactment of the German Bundestag under grant nos. 50WM1641, 50WM1556, 50WM1956, and 50WM0837, as well as by ”Niedersächsisches Vorab” through the QUANOMET initiative (QT3) and through ”Förderung von Wissenschaft und Technik in Forschung und Lehre” for the initial funding of research in the new DLR-SI Institute. D.S. acknowledges funding by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research through the funding program Photonics Research Germany under contract number 13N14875.
