This project aims to discover the ultimate quantum limits to optical coherence. Quantum physics underpin the miniaturisation of technology, and quantum devices can do things better, often with vastly fewer resources, than conventional devices. Lasers underpin most modern optical technologies, and have been studied for decades, but the ultimate quantum limits are unknown. To find them, this project will use theoretical techniques that have not hitherto been combined. This project will likely influence the long-term development of lasers and other quantum devices and underpin innovation in miniaturised optical technology and other quantum devices, leading ultimately to commercial products that yield a better quality of life.

该项目旨在发现光学相干性的最终量子极限。量子物理学是技术进步的基础，量子设备可以做得更好，而且通常比传统设备使用的资源要少得多。激光是大多数现代光学技术的基础，已经研究了几十年，但最终的量子极限是未知的。为了找到它们，该项目将使用迄今为止尚未结合的理论技术。该项目可能会影响激光器和其他量子器件的长期发展，并支持量子光学技术和其他量子器件的创新，最终导致产生更好生活质量的商业产品。
