Abstract
An ongoing challenge in physics is to make increasingly accurate measurements of physical quantities. Bose–Einstein condensates in atomic gases are ideal candidates for use in precision measurement schemes since they are extremely cold and have laser-like coherence properties. In this paper, we review these two attributes and discuss how they could be exploited to improve the resolution in a range of different measurements.Keywords
