Abstract
This document presents a summary of the 2023 Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry Workshop hosted by CERN. The workshop brought together experts from around the world to discuss the exciting developments in large-scale atom interferometer (AI) prototypes and their potential for detecting ultralight dark matter and gravitational waves. The primary objective of the workshop was to lay the groundwork for an international TVLBAI proto-collaboration. This collaboration aims to unite researchers from different institutions to strategize and secure funding for terrestrial large-scale AI projects. The ultimate goal is to create a roadmap detailing the design and technology choices for one or more kilometer–scale detectors, which will be operational in the mid-2030s. The key sections of this report present the physics case and technical challenges, together with a comprehensive overview of the discussions at the workshop together with the main conclusions.

Funding
The MAGIS-100 experiment is Fermilab project E-1101 (FERMILAB-TM-2700-PPD, FERMILAB-CONF-23-430-ETD), which consists of a collaboration of 9 universities and national laboratories, and is funded by the US DOE Quantized program, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the UK STFC, and the Kavli Foundation. To carry it out it is necessary to build and install at Fermilab a next-generation instrument that uses light-pulse atom interferometry to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. MAGIS-100 will exploit the existing \u223C100 m vertical MINOS access shaft and will be an upgrade of the existing 10 m scale experiment at Stanford with greatly increased sensitivity due to its increased length. Tobias Asano, Samuel B\u00F6hringer, Fabio Di Pumpo, Alexander Friedrich, Eric P. Glasbrenner, Gregor Janson, Fedor Jelezko, Wolfgang P. Schleich, and Jannik Str\u00F6hle were supported by the Scientific Network Center for Integrated Quantum Science and Technology (IQST).
