Ars Technica publishes detailed reporting on the completed experiment led by Ron Folman, a physicist at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, with collaborators in Germany, the UK, and the US. The team built an interferometer that puts a single atom into a superposition of two trajectories—one free-falling and one stationary—to measure how gravity affects the atom's wave-like phase property.
