Detection of the Earth's rotation using superfluid phase coherence.

Author(s) : SCHWAB K., BRUCKNER N., PACKARD R. E.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The authors provide experimental results and detect the rotation of the Earth using the spatial phase coherence of superfluid helium 4, thus providing independent corroboration of an earlier report that demonstrated the feasibility of making such a measurement. They argue that improvements in sensitivity of several orders of magnitude should be feasible.
