Abstract :
We present preliminary results of our research program towards multi-axis quantum acceleration sensors in a compact package, using Bloch oscillations of matter waves to provide large momentum transfer. The projected performance is discussed. We demonstrate the first Mach-Zehnder atom interferometer in which a cavity mode is used for addressing the atoms.
