Advanced Quantum Sensors for Next-Generation Sensing Applications

这个理论物理项目的目的是为两个主要应用开发超精确传感能力：用于改进导航和重力测量的超稳定惯性传感器，以及搜索量子引力的特征。该项目期望通过使用机器优化来提高量子传感器的性能，并可能导致急需的实验数据，以帮助指导理论物理学中最具挑战性的问题之一：引力的量子化。该项目的预期成果是增强量子传感器设计，从而改进惯性传感技术。这将带来好处，例如提高矿物勘探和监测地下水流动的能力。

The aim of this theoretical physics project is to develop ultra-precise sensing capabilities for two main applications: ultrastable inertial sensors for improved navigation and gravimetry, and to search for signatures of quantum gravity. This project expects to improve the performance of quantum sensors via the use of machine optimisation, and may lead to much-needed experimental data to help guide one of the most challenging problems in theoretical physics: the quantisation of gravity. The expected outcomes of this project are enhanced quantum sensor design, leading to improved inertial sensing technology. This should provide benefits such as improved capabilities for minerals exploration and monitoring the movement of ground water.
