Quantum-Assisted Measurement of Atomic Diamagnetism
We report the first measurement of ground-state diamagnetism of isolated neutral atoms in an atomic beam. We realize this measurement using magnetic deflection of fringes in a long-baseline matter-wave interferometer. The observed diamagnetic susceptibilities of −5.8±0.2±0.4×10^{−9} m^{3}/kg for ba...
