Atom interferometers have proven to be an ideal platform for measuring extremely small forces. However, their high sensitivity to potential energy changes can also be used to measure interactions between atoms. A particular case of these are light-induced dipole-dipole interactions, which are predicted to even be caused by incoherent, off-resonant light fields. We will present our preliminary findings and discuss, in an intuitive way, the geometry of our interferometer design.
