Heisenberg-limited lasers: building the revolution

该项目旨在设计和建造一种革命性的新型激光器，该激光器基于两位首席研究员在2020年《自然物理》杂志上发表的开创性论文。这项工作的意义在于，它通过将21世纪的量子理论和量子技术应用于激光相干性问题，推翻了60年来关于激光相干性极限的理论。这个项目希望能极大地推进这一理论，并通过与世界领先的超导量子器件实验家的合作，展示一种超越想象的相干激光。该项目的好处应该来自高相干辐射的多种应用，包括扩大超导量子计算。

The project aims to design and build a revolutionary new type of laser based on the ground-breaking 2020 Nature Physics paper by the two Chief Investigators. The significance of this work is that it overturns 60 years of theory about the limits to laser coherence, by applying 21st century quantum theory and quantum technology to the problem. This project expects to greatly advance the theory and, by instigating a collaboration with world-leading experimentalists working with superconducting quantum devices, to demonstrate a laser with coherence beyond what was thought possible. Benefits of the project should flow from the manifold applications for highly coherent radiation, including scaling up superconducting quantum computing.
