CAT 3: Quantum Sensing Applications

Why?

  • Quantum sensing leads to better MRI methods, new atomic clocks to monitor earth and climate change, localization without satellites and many more applications.
  • Quantum sensing is the low hanging fruit of quantum technologies: first generation applications already exist and further innovations can reach the market soon.

How?

  • Foster an ecosystem of technology developers and end usersto create new applications from TRL 4 and higher.
  • Via open calls new components for quantum sensors are developed.
  • When operational, public private partnerships will be started to accelerate industrialization.

What?

A testbed for the most promising applications of quantum sensors:

  • Sensors based on ultracold atoms used for clocks, network synchronization, soil research and navigation (this links with Photondelta).
  • Spin based sensors such as gyroscopes, magnetometers,scanning-probe and nano MRI tools.
  • Sensors relevant for the defense and security.
  • Mechanical sensors used for measurement of pressure, temperature, voltage, mass and g-forces in navigation.

First Active Quantum Clock

Researchers at the University of Amsterdam are working on the best clocks in the world, clocks that would only go wrong by one second over the lifetime of the universe! A team led by Prof. Florian Schreck is developing a new type of clock, in which atoms are teased into a quantum state in which they actively emit light with an extremely precise frequency, which is what makes the clock tick. They recently achieved the required high flux and high density beam of ultracold atoms required for this to work. Within the CAT 3 programme, this know-how will be used to build a National Quantum Clock and bring the benefits of this amazingly stable clock to users, enabling faster internet, improving robotic cars and exploring the underground.
