PROJECT AIM
Project Ambition, objectives and Work Packages
QUANTIFY will specifically address the development of next generation of quantum enhanced and miniaturized atomic clocks, optically pumped magnetometers, and temperature sensors by tackling the development of critically technological platforms, miniaturized and reliable probing techniques and definition of measurement standards.
Project Objectives
QUANTIFY objectives are related to the development of: a photonic integrated squeezed light source (PICSq); a quantum-enhanced optically pumped magnetometer usign a photonic squeezer and miniaturized atomic vapor cells; a miniaturized quantum enhanced two-photon optical clock with photonic integrated circuit and MEMS components; a photonic/phononic integrated Quantum Enhanced temperatura sensor; a metrological assessment and performance charaterization of the quantum enhanced sensors.
OUR VISION
Work Package and Work plan
The structure of the work plan is divided into seven work packages (WPs), each simple and intuitive, with clear tasks, responsibilities and expected results for the individual partners. WP1 will deal with the general management and coordination of the project. Within the WP2 all the technological activities aimed at developing the key building blocks and the platforms for supporting the miniaturization of the quantum enhanced sensors will be developed. In WP3, WP4 and WP5 the complete systems for the three quantum-enhanced sensors will be developed. In order: an optically pumped megnetometer, a two-photon optical clock and a nano-optomechanical temperature sensor. WP6 will focus on the metrological assessment and performance characterization of the three innovative quantum enhanced sensors and the key building blocks developed in the WP2. WP7 will be responsible for the communication, dissemination and exploitation activities.
QUANTIFY: Expected results
Develop protocols exploiting squeezed states of light to improve short and long-term stability of TPOC, sensitivity and detection bandwith of OPM. Exploit quantum optomechanical correlation to demonstrate a primary temperature a primary temperature standard. Demonstrate miniaturize photonic integrated low-noise laser, squeezed light source and nano-optomechanical oscillator with hybrid integration technique. Assessment of sensor’s performance following the International Metrological Standard and besta practice with traceability to the International System of units to achieve a complete knowledge of their capabilities and implementing them in a real metrological chain.
