We present the theoretical background for and the progress on a novel atom interferometer with a phase shift scaling as T3 in contrast to conventional atom interferometers with a scaling of T2 [1]. Here T denotes the travelling time of the atoms in-between two Raman pulses. These pulses prepare a superposition of two magnetic sublevels while an external magnetic field is applied to imprint two different effective accelerations g1 and g2 for these two states [2]. A sequence consisting of four Raman pulses is used to close the interferometer and to obtain the T3-scaling. Due to the position-dependent Zeeman shift the atomic resonance frequency changes throughout the experiment and the laser frequency has to be chirped in order to stay in resonance.
