Large mass, large splitting and long duration matter wave interferometry in unprecedented regimes is necessary for revealing the quantum nature of gravity in the laboratory, as well as for extreme sensing. In this talk I first explain these two applications along with the domain required, namely, micron sized crystals in superposed states separated by 10 microns. Then we will show how one of two principal sources of noise in the system -- noninertial acceleration noise and gravity gradient noise (Newtonian noise) can be mitigated in such systems, to enable one to create and verify superpositions in the above mentioned scales.
