This series of 2 lecture will present the recent developments in the research concerning Matter-waves, fro the development of atom interferometers and inertial sensors to the simulation of quantum transport. In this first lecture, I present the current research in atom interferometry, from the development of atom inertial sensors to the future construction of a matter-wave gravitation antenna.

Mots clés: Atom interferometry; inertial sensors; gravitational wave detector

Domaines: Physique Quantique [quant-ph]; Physique Atomique [physics.atom-ph]
