A wealth of important applications has sprung out from the ability of manipulating large samples of cold atoms. Among them, the improvement of atomic clocks and the creation of atomic gyroscopes and of atomic gravity meters, which is obviously of great interest for geodesists and geophysicists, particularly for potential applications in satellite geodesy. This book explains the fundamental concepts necessary to understand atom manipulation by photons, including the principles of quantum mechanics. It is conceived as a road that leads the reader from classical physics (mechanics and electromagnetism, considered as a common scientific background of geodesists and geophysicists), to the basics of quantum mechanics in order to understand the dynamics of atoms falling in the gravity field, while interacting with suitably resonant laser beams. There are different types of measurements of gravity based on the manipulation of ultra-cold atoms; the book presents the principles of the instruments based on stimulated Raman transition, which can be easily worked out analytically. However, the concepts explained in the text can provide a good starting point to understand also the applications based on the so-called Block oscillations or on the Bose?Einstein condensation. . 410 0$aSpringer Geophysics,$x2364-9119 606 $aGeophysics 606 $aQuantum physics 606 $aMagnetism 606 $aMagnetic materials 606 $aGeophysics/Geodesy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18009 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 606 $aMagnetism, Magnetic Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25129 615 0$aGeophysics. 615 0$aQuantum physics. 615 0$aMagnetism. 615 0$aMagnetic materials. 615 14$aGeophysics/Geodesy. 615 24$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aMagnetism, Magnetic Materials. 676 $a526.7 700 $aSansò$b Fernando$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0422254 702 $aMigliaccio$b Federica$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910383811403321 996 $aQuantum Measurement of Gravity for Geodesists and Geophysicists$91963825 997 $aUNINA
