Abstract We propose in this White Paper a concept for space experiment using cold atoms to search ultra-light dark matter, and detect gravitational waves the frequency range between most sensitive ranges of LISA terrestrial LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA/INDIGO experiments. This interdisciplinary experiment, called Atomic Experiment Dark Matter Gravity Exploration (AEDGE), will also complement other planned searches exploit synergies with wave detectors. give examples extended sensitivity matter offered...
The possibility to probe new physics scenarios of light Majorana neutrino exchange and right-handed currents at the planned next generation neutrinoless double beta decay experiment SuperNEMO is discussed. Its ability study different isotopes track outgoing electrons provides means discriminate underlying mechanisms for by measuring half-life electron angular energy distributions.
Observing double beta decay with no neutrinos in the final state, would signal existence of lepton number violating processes and hint at neutrino being a Majorana particle. The impressive effort represented by NEMO-3 experiment sets important constraints on mass lepton-number processes.
Abstract We summarise the discussions at a virtual Community Workshop on Cold Atoms in Space concerning status of cold atom technologies, prospective scientific and societal opportunities offered by their deployment space, developments needed before atoms could be operated space. The technologies discussed include atomic clocks, quantum gravimeters accelerometers, interferometers. Prospective applications metrology, geodesy measurement terrestrial mass change due to, e.g., climate change,...

The key to is weak value momentum which calls transition probability amplitude. With identification are able conclude that average an ensemble actual individual stochastic paths. This implies they can be interpreted as mean flow set processes not path enables us give clearer account experimental two-slit results...
