3rd TVLBAI Workshop, August 20-22, 2025 in Hannover

The 3rd Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry (TVLBAI) workshop follows the formation of the TVLBAI Proto-Collaboration and will focus on discussing the technology and physics drivers for large-scale Atom Interferometry as well as establishing a comprehensive roadmap. The primary objectives are to bring together researchers from diverse institutions and
communities, foster strategic discussions, and develop a pathway towards Funding for Terrestrial Very-Long Baseline Atom Interferometer projects expected to become operational in the mid-2030s.

In this third iteration of the TVLBAI workshop, we are gathering in Hannover,
providing an opportunity to visit the newly established and now operational 10m
VLBAI facility. In addition to the VLBAI visits, we are offering lab tours within the
Institute of Quantum Optics and the Einstein Elevator.

Building on the success of the last two editions, this workshop will cultivate a
strong sense of community among participants. It will help to establish a
supportive network of experts and enthusiasts ready to advance the field of atom
interferometry from all over the world.
