N2 - Bloch oscillations of atoms in optical lattices are a powerful technique that can dramatically boost the sensitivity of atom interferometers to a wide range of signals by large momentum transfer. To leverage this method to its full potential, an accurate theoretical description of losses and phases is required, going beyond existing treatments. Here, we present a comprehensive theoretical framework for Bloch-oscillation-enhanced atom interferometry and verify its accuracy through comparison with a numerical solution of the Schrödinger equation. Our approach establishes design criteria to reach the fundamental efficiency and accuracy limits of large momentum transfer using Bloch oscillations and allows us, in a broader context, to define the fundamental efficiency limit of the transport of neutral atoms using optical lattices. We compare these limits to the capabilities of current state-of-the-art experiments and make projections for the next generation of quantum sensors.
