A wealth of important applications has sprung out from the ability of manipulating large samples of cold atoms. Among them, the improvement of atomic clocks and the creation of atomic gyroscopes and of atomic gravity meters, which is obviously of great interest for geodesists and geophysicists, particularly for potential applications in satellite geodesy. This book explains the fundamental concepts necessary to understand atom manipulation by photons, including the principles of quantum mechanics. It is conceived as a road that leads the reader from classical physics (mechanics and electromagnetism, considered as a common scientific background of geodesists and geophysicists), to the basics of quantum mechanics in order to understand the dynamics of atoms falling in the gravity field, while interacting with suitably resonant laser beams. There are different types of measurements of gravity based on the manipulation of ultra-cold atoms; the book presents the principles of the instruments based on stimulated Raman transition, which can be easily worked out analytically. However, the concepts explained in the text can provide a good starting point to understand also the applications based on the so-called Block oscillations or on the BoseEinstein condensation. . 000929919 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed April 9, 2020). 000929919 650_0 $$aGravity$$xMeasurement. 000929919 650_0 $$aQuantum theory. 000929919 7001_ $$aMigliaccio, Federica,$$eauthor. 000929919 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030428370$$z9783030428372$$w(OCoLC)1139916942 000929919 830_0 $$aSpringer geophysics. 000929919 852__ $$bebk 000929919 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-42838-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000929919 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:929919$$pGLOBAL_SET 000929919 980__ $$aEBOOK 000929919 980__ $$aBIB 000929919 982__ $$aEbook 000929919 983__ $$aOnline 000929919 994__ $$a92$$bISE
