Quantum Sensors
Lab
What do we do? We study the physics and applications of tiny measurement machines who "ticks" are dictated by the quantum properties of atoms. The lab explores the foundation building blocks of quantum-sensors with a strong emphasis on time and frequency applications and disciplines. We will answer questions such as how do atoms behave when confined to small dimensions? How atoms interact with and through walls? How does comb-light strongly interact with atomic medium? As such we will develop and explore new types of atomic clocks, magnetometers and electric-field sensors using microcomb light, “smart” atomic vapor cells and Nano-scale technology.
