摘要: We propose a technique, using interferometry of Bose-Einstein condensed alkali atoms, for the detection submicron-range forces. It may extend present searches at 1 micron by 6 to 9 orders magnitude, deep into theoretically interesting regime 1000 times gravity. give several examples both four-dimensional particles (moduli), as well higher-dimensional particles---vectors and scalars in large bulk---that could mediate forces accessible this technique.
