• Title: Inertial Torsion Noise in Matter-Wave Interferometers for Gravity Experiments
• Authors: Meng-Zhi Wu, Marko Toroš, Sougato Bose, Anupam Mazumdar,
• Abstract summary: Matter-wave interferometry is susceptible to non-inertial noise sources, which can induce dephasing and a resulting loss of interferometric visibility. Here, we focus on inertial torsion noise (ITN), which arises from the rotational motion of the experimental apparatus suspended by a thin wire and subject to random external torques. We provide analytical expressions for the ITN noise starting from Langevin equations describing the experimental box in a thermal environment which can then be used together with the transfer function to obtain the dephasing factor.

• Abstract: Matter-wave interferometry is susceptible to non-inertial noise sources, which can induce dephasing and a resulting loss of interferometric visibility. Here, we focus on inertial torsion noise (ITN), which arises from the rotational motion of the experimental apparatus suspended by a thin wire and subject to random external torques. We provide analytical expressions for the ITN noise starting from Langevin equations describing the experimental box in a thermal environment which can then be used together with the transfer function to obtain the dephasing factor. We verify the theoretical modelling and the validity of the approximations using Monte Carlo simulations obtaining good agreement between theory and numerics. As an application we estimate the size of the effects for the next-generation of interferometery experiments with femtogram particles, which could be used as the building block for entanglement-based tests of the quantum nature of gravity. We find that the ambient gas is a weak source of ITN, posing mild restrictions on the ambient pressure and temperature, and conclude with a discussion about the general ITN constrains by assuming a Langevin equation parameterized by three phenomenological parameters.
