QuDOS II: Quantum technologies using Diffractive Optical Structures (Phase II)

该项目将开发一种紧凑、简化和更坚固的设备，用于制备一系列传感和量子计算应用的冷原子样品。项目合作伙伴已经成功地在商业环境中演示了基于光栅芯片的磁光陷阱的使用。在验证使用M Squared的锁模激光光源的光栅芯片时，合作伙伴已经为提高这一关键组件技术的技术准备水平奠定了基础。拟议的项目将使UCA陷阱成为一个更集成的系统的一部分，并将使该技术更接近目标应用。此外，它还将强调单一、灵活的激光光源作为量子技术工具箱中的关键组件的关键作用。这项技术与量子技术具有广泛的相关性，因为它构成了实用和低成本的原子传感设备和量子计算机的基石之一。该项目将斯特拉斯克莱德大学的卓越学术成就与M Squared激光器的工业技术相结合，从英国的研究基地开发这一世界领先的创新。

The project will develop a compact, simplified and more robust apparatus for the preparation of cold atomic samples for a range of sensing and quantum computing applications. The project partners have successfully demonstrated the use of grating chip-based magneto-optical traps in a commercial environment. In validating the use of the grating chips with M Squared’s rubidium-locked laser source, the partners have laid the foundations for increasing the technology readiness level of this key component technology. The proposed project will see the UCA trap become part of a more integrated system, and will move the technology closer to the targeted applications. Additionally, it will emphasie the key role of a single, agile laser source as a key component in the quantum technology toolbox. This technique has wide relevance to the quantum technologies as it forms one of the building blocks for practical and low-cost, atomic sensing devices and quantum computers. The project brings the academic excellence of the University of Strathclyde together with the industrial knowhow of M Squared Lasers to exploit this world-leading innovation from the UK's research base.
