An Extremely Brief Overview of the State of the Art of
Maxwell Gregoire
Atom Interferometer Gyroscopes
What is a gyroscope
A device for measuring the rotation rate (or any time derivatives thereof) of its own reference frame
Applications Navigation
Compare satellites to a drag-free test mass
ndash Solar wind atmospheric drag
ndash Important for experiments that reference trajectories Submarines
ndash Cannot access GPS
ndash Less detectable if they
dont have to ping Aircraft and ships
(manned and unmanned)
ndash Not vulnerable to cyber
attack if they dont need GPS
Applications Geophysics
Measure wobble in Earths rotation rate due to
ndash Precession and nutation
ndash Lunar and solar tides Measure tidal drag
ndash Earths rotation causes tidal bulge to ldquoleadrdquo the moon moon pulls back on tidal bulge causes torque on Earth opposite rotation vector
ndash Earths rotation slows
ndash Moons revolution slows moon orbits further away (Virial Thm 2T = -V)
Applications General Relativity
Geodetic effect
ndash A vector (ex angular momentum of gyroscope on a satellite) is affected by space-time curvature created by a nearby massive body (ex Earth)
Lense-Thirring rotation aka gravitomagnetic frame-dragging
ndash An object (ex gyroscope on a satellite) rotates due to the rotation of a nearby massive body (ex Earth)
Together these effects predict precession of a gyroscope on a satellite that classically should not happen
