Testing general relativity and alternative theories of gravity with space-based atomic clocks and atom interferometers

The successful miniaturisation of extremely accurate atomic clocks and atom interferometers invites prospects for satellite missions to perform precision experiments. We discuss the effects predicted by general relativity and alternative theories of gravity that can be detected by a clock, which orb...
