Atom interferometry has proven within the last decades its surprising versatility to sense
with high precision tiniest forces. In this talk I will give an overview of our recent work using
an optical cavity enhanced atom interferometer to sense with gravitational strength for
fifths forces1,2 and for an on the first-place counterintuitive inertial property of blackbody
radiation3.
