Dear Colleagues,

 

We are pleased to issue the second announcement of the 3rd Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry (TVLBAI) Workshop, which will take place from 20 to 22 August 2025 at Leibniz University Hannover, Germany.

 

The workshop will be conducted in a hybrid format, enabling both in-person and remote participation via Zoom.

 

Further details are available on the official workshop webpage:

We encourage all participants—regardless of their mode of attendance—to register, as the list will be used for workshop communications and follow-up.


Programme Overview

 

The workshop will consist of a single-track plenary programme, including:

·      Presentations and discussions on Cold Atom Physics and precision measurement

·      Strategic sessions on the scientific potential of TVLBAI

·      poster session, with a focus on PhD students and early career researchers

·      Lab tours and an optional social excursion

Workshop Scope:

The 3rd TVLBAI workshop follows the formation of the TVLBAI Proto-Collaboration and will focus on discussing the technology and physics drivers for large-scale Atom Interferometry as well as establishing a comprehensive roadmap. The primary objectives are to bring together researchers from diverse institutions, foster strategic discussions, and develop a pathway towards funding for Terrestrial Very-Long Baseline Atom Interferometer projects expected to become operational in the mid-2030s.
