This program has a three-pronged approach to the study of fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics through experiments that rely on the manipulation of atoms. A Sagnac atom interferometer is used as an atomic gyroscope to measure the Earth's rotation rate; quantum mechanically induced temporal and spatial correlations between pairs of identical atoms are studied in atomic fountains; and attempts to achieve Bose-Einstein condensation through sympathetic cooling are underway.

这个计划有三个方面的方法来研究量子力学的基本方面，通过依赖于对原子的操纵的实验。Sagnac原子干涉仪被用作原子陀螺仪来测量地球的自转速度；在原子喷泉中研究了量子力学诱导的相同原子对之间的时间和空间关联；通过交感冷却实现玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚的尝试正在进行中。
