Conclusions

The current generation of single-particle force sensors have achieved performance levels where they now compete with state-of-the-art instruments. Whether Bose-condensed atomic sources will enable a further performance gain remains to be seen. However, there are a number of tantalising possibilities which are emerging from current studies of condensate cohenerence properties.
