TL;DR: A miniaturized and robust experiment within the QUANTUS collaboration using ultra cold atoms in a free fall environment as a test-bed for matter-wave interferometry on long timescales is reported on.

TL;DR: The preparation and observation of a Bose-Einstein condensate during free fall in a 146-meter-tall evacuated drop tower is reported and represents a promising source for matter-wave interferometry to test the universality of free fall with quantum matter.

TL;DR: Experiments conducted during the six minutes of in-space flight are reported on, which provide insights into conducting cold-atom experiments in space, such as precision interferometry, and pave the way to miniaturizingcold-atom and photon-based quantum information concepts for satellite-based implementation.

TL;DR: The Atomic Experiment for Dark Matter and Gravity Exploration (AEDGE) as mentioned in this paper is a space experiment using cold atoms to search for ultra-light dark matter, and to detect gravitational waves in the frequency range between the most sensitive ranges of LISA and the terrestrial LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA/INDIGO experiments.

TL;DR: The STE-QUEST science case as mentioned in this paper describes the scientific objectives in fundamental physics of the Space-Time Explorer (STE-QUEST), which carries out tests of different aspects of the Einstein equivalence principle using atomic clocks, matter wave interferometry and long distance time/frequency links.
