Abstract: We demonstrate an atom interferometer measurement protocol compatible with operation on a dynamic platform. Our method employs two open interferometers, derived from the same atomic source, with different interrogation times to eliminate initial velocity dependence while retaining precision, accuracy, and long term stability. We validate the protocol by measuring gravitational tides, achieving a precision of 4.5 μGal in 2000 runs (6.7 h), marking the first demonstration of inertial quantity measurement with open atom interferometry that achieves long-term phase stability.
