Atomic sensors for dark matter, rotation and magnetic fields

该项目旨在开发超高性能传感器。该研究将探索利用原子气体的磁性和光学特性的新方法，以实现多参数传感，而不会在测量之间产生串扰。预计将开发技术，允许使用紧凑，超精确和节能的设备同时感测旋转和磁场。预计这些新的原子传感器将支持一个寻找暗物质的全球网络，尽管从未见过暗物质，但它被认为占宇宙质量的85%。这些成果预计将有利于医学科学，地球探测，高科技制造，导航和我们对宇宙的理解。

This project aims to develop ultra-high-performance sensors. The research will explore new methods for using the magnetic and optical properties of atomic gases to enable multi-parameter sensing without crosstalk between measurements. It is expected that techniques will be developed to allow simultaneous sensing of rotation and magnetic fields using devices that are compact, ultra-precise and energy efficient. It is also anticipated that these new atomic sensors will support a global network looking for dark matter, which although never seen, is thought to make up 85% of the mass of the universe. The outcomes are expected to benefit medical science, geo-exploration, high-tech manufacturing, navigation and our understanding of the universe.
