We theoretically study a new approach to matter-wave interferometer that utilizes ultracold atoms confined in an optical lattice. Through patterned phase modulation of the lattice, the matter wave is split, mirrored, and recombined, resulting in sensitivity to an applied inertial signal as was recently demonstrated experimentally in [LeDesma et al., arXiv:2305.17603 (2023]. Compared to free-space equivalents, this "shaken lattice" interferometer has the advantage that atoms remain always supported against external forces and perturbations and that by applying different shaking sequences the device could be in principle made sensitive to different signals (inertial, gravitational, etc...) on the fly. In this work, we give a brief overview of this sensing platform and its working principles.
