Abstract
Measurement of the gradient of gravitational fields has important scientific and technical applications. These applications range from measurement of the gravitational constant and tests of General Relativity to covert navigation, underground structure detection, oil- well logging and geodesy. We describe the development of a gravity gradiometer based on recently developed atom interference1 and laser manipulation techniques.
