Quantum-enhanced reference systems

参考系统，如陀螺仪和时钟，由单个原子或光子构成，可以具有令人难以置信的精度，仅受量子物理定律的限制。本项目将研究如何构建这样的参考系统，并将提出新的最先进的实验来证明它们的力量。该项目将为导航和通信系统所需的未来技术以及科学和工程应用所需的高精度测量奠定基础。它将解决许多关于量子理论中参考系作用的紧迫问题，这些问题目前阻碍了该领域的进展。

Reference systems, such as gyroscopes and clocks, constructed out of individual atoms or photons can have an incredible precision limited only by the laws of quantum physics. This project will investigate how such reference systems can be constructed and will propose new state-of-the-art experiments which demonstrate their power. This project will provide a foundation for future technologies necessary for navigation and communication systems, and for high-precision measurements needed for scientific and engineering applications. It will resolve many pressing problems regarding the role of reference systems in quantum theory that are currently inhibiting progress in the field.
