Abstract:
We show first results and systematic investigations of a matter wave interferometer with the K2 molecule, using a transition between the electronic ground state X and the state b . This spin forbidden transition is observable due to spin-orbit coupling between the states b and A . The experimental results are compared with numerical simulations, which show the power of the interferometer to observe small phase shifts by weak interactions.
