First gravity data aquired by the transportable absolute Quantum Gravimeter QG-1 employing collimated Bose-Einstein condensates
<p>The transportable Quantum Gravimeter QG-1 is designed to determine the local gravity to the nm/s&#178; level of uncertainty. It relies on the interferometric interrogation of magnetically collimated Bose-Einstein condensates in a transportable setup consisting of a sensor head and an electronics supply unit.<br>In this contibution we introduce the measurement concept and discuss it's impact on the measurement uncertainty. We are reporting on the first gravity data taken with the device over the course of three days thereby validating the operability and the measurement concept applied in QG-1.<br>We acknowledge financial support from "Niedersachsisches Vorab" through "F&#246;rderung von Wissenschaft und Technik in Forschung und Lehre" for the initial funding of research in the new DLR-SI Institute.
