Humankind has observed the sky for centuries, but an entire universe of phenomena is invisible to our electromagnetic eyes and telescopes. Every massive object in the universe radiates gravitational waves, which can carry information to us from the far corners of the universe. Yet, this gravitational universe remains hidden from view, and awaits the development of instruments precise enough to detect the feeble spacetime fluctuations caused by gravitational waves. The proposed research program aims to construct precise atomic tools to enable the development of gravitational wave telescopes and other precision instruments.

人类观察天空已经有几个世纪了，但整个宇宙的现象对我们的电磁眼和望远镜来说是不可见的。宇宙中的每一个大质量物体都辐射引力波，它可以从宇宙的遥远角落向我们传递信息。然而，这个引力宇宙仍然隐藏在视野之外，等待着足够精确的仪器的发展，以探测引力波引起的微弱时空波动。拟议的研究计划旨在构建精确的原子工具，以开发引力波望远镜和其他精密仪器。
