   Measurement of the Recoil Velocity
   A significant application is the measurement of the recoil velocity imparted to an atom upon absorbing or emitting a photon, which is crucial for high-precision determination of the fine-structure constant ($\alpha$)/). However, a recurring experimental challenge stems from the Quantum Entropic Drag effect observed when using Rubidium-87, where the measurement apparatus exhibits a slight, tempor…
