Quantum Sensing & Metrology

Research

The quantum sensors have in common to be based in their operating principle on the quantum properties of matter and light, and to possess a high sensitivity to external force fields.

The activities of PCQT teams focus on the development of several different sensor families:

• Atomic sensors
• Optomechanical sensors
• All-optical sensors
• Sensors based on « artificial atoms »
• Compressed quantum states

Laboratories involved: APC, CAS, INSP, Institut Langevin, LIP6, LKB, LPENS, LPL, MPQ, SYRTE

• Challenge 14: High TRL Quantum Imaging Sensors and Systems
• Challenge 15: First commercialization of operational sensors
• Challenge 16: New approaches to reaching the quantum limit
