Abstract
High-order inertial phase shifts are calculated for time-domain atom interferometers. We obtain closed-form analytic expressions for these shifts in accelerometer, gyroscope, optical clock and photon recoil measurement configurations. Our analysis includes Coriolis, centrifugal, gravitational, and gravity gradient-induced forces. We identify new shifts which arise at levels relevant to current and planned experiments.

Note that the momentum in the excited state output port differs from the momentum in the ground state output port by ℏk . The resulting phase difference between the output ports is just compensated by changing the k ·r B2-term for the ground state output to k ·r B1 for the excited state output in the laser phase given above
