The aim of this project is to use ultracold helium atoms to test aspects of quantum entanglement. The unique properties of metastable helium will provide significant new knowledge of this fundamental quantum property. Expected outcomes include measuring a Bell test between mass entangled atoms and testing the weak equivalence principle (the universality of free fall) using a quantum entangled state as the test masses. This should provide benefits including input into new theories that attempt to unify quantum mechanics with general relativity and will be relevant for emerging quantum technologies such as more powerful quantum computing or quantum simulation of complex systems.

该项目的目的是使用超冷氦原子来测试量子纠缠的各个方面。亚稳态氦的独特性质将为这一基本量子性质提供重要的新知识。预期的结果包括测量质量纠缠原子之间的贝尔测试，并使用量子纠缠态作为测试质量来测试弱等效原理（自由落体的普遍性）。这应该会带来一些好处，包括为试图将量子力学与广义相对论统一起来的新理论提供投入，并将与新兴的量子技术相关，例如更强大的量子计算或复杂系统的量子模拟。
