Abstract

We investigate the effect of the Continuous Spontaneous Localization (CSL) model on light-pulse atom interferometry. Using a path-integral approach with an additional stochastic potential accounting for CSL, we derive an exponential loss of the contrast that scales linearly with the interferometer time T if both interferometer arms are spatially separated. We compare our theoretical results with measurements from a cold rubidium atom interferometer based on counter-propagating two-photon transitions with pulse separation times up to T = 260 ms and obtain the corresponding bounds on the CSL parameters.
