拟议的宏观量子谐振器（MAQRO）任务的目标是利用空间实现长自由落体时间，极端真空，纳米重力和低温，以测试宏观量子实验中的物理学基础。开发必要的技术，实现所需的灵敏度，并提供宏观量子系统与其环境的必要隔离，将为开发新型量子传感器奠定基础。早期的研究表明，该提议是可行的，但仍存在一些关键挑战，需要开发关键技术。自MAQRO最初提出建议以来，最近的科学和技术发展预示着实现更多科学目标的潜力。拟议的研究活动旨在推进最先进的技术，并在太空中进行第一次宏观量子实验。地面、微重力和太空实验将推动当前十年拟议的研究活动，以便在接下来的十年内实施MAQRO。
The objective of the proposed macroscopic quantum resonators (MAQRO) mission is to harness space for achieving long free-fall times, extreme vacuum, nano-gravity, and cryogenic temperatures to test the foundations of physics in macroscopic quantum experiments at the interface with gravity. Developing the necessary technologies, achieving the required sensitivities and providing the necessary isolation of macroscopic quantum systems from their environment will lay the path for developing novel quantum sensors. Earlier studies showed that the proposal is feasible but that several critical challenges remain, and key technologies need to be developed. Recent scientific and technological developments since the original proposal of MAQRO promise the potential for achieving additional science objectives. The proposed research campaign aims to advance the state of the art and to perform the first macroscopic quantum experiments in space. Experiments on the ground, in micro-gravity, and in space will drive the proposed research campaign during the current decade to enable the implementation of MAQRO within the subsequent decade.
