Research Quantum Sensing Group Dive into the physics of quantum sensing with our interactive atom interferometer simulator. explore how matter waves interfere to produce measurable phase shifts. In this video, we break down the fascinating concept of the atom interferometer—a powerful tool in quantum sensing that measures gravity and motion with extreme precision.
Research Quantum Sensing Group This collaboration between simulation and theory allows us to gain a deeper understanding of complex quantum phenomena. this simulation tool also allows us to model and simulate real world experiments without having to tailor specific simplifications to enable an analytical treatment. The atomic clock, invented in 1949, harnesses atomic energy levels to tell time and can be considered a quantum sensor. devices that use the spins of atoms to sense magnetic fields have existed since the 1950s; magnetometers that take advantage of the quantum phenomenon known as superconductivity emerged in the 1960s. In atom interferometers, the roles of matter and light are reversed compared to the laser based interferometers, i.e. the beam splitter and mirrors are lasers while the source emits matter waves (the atoms) rather than light. Quantum sensors based on atom interferometry are moving from fundamental research towards commercial applications in metrology, geophysics, space, civil engineering, oil and minerals.

Quantum sensors based on atom interferometry are moving from fundamental research towards commercial applications in metrology, geophysics, space, civil engineering, oil and minerals. Physicists have been eager to apply atom interferometry in space, both to enable new measurements for space science and to capitalize on the extended free fall conditions found in space. this could enable researchers to achieve unprecedented performance from these quantum sensors. Atomic sensors for gravitational wave detection atomic clocks and atom interferometry offer the potential for gravitational wave detection in an unexplored frequency range (“mid band”). This perspective illustrates the principles of operation of typical atomic quantum sensors, with an eye to the sensor development process and issues that arise in trade offs between performance and practicality. Beyond being passive listeners to the universe, atom interferometers are active tools for exploring the quantum realm itself. they allow us to test the foundational principles of quantum mechanics and to build "quantum simulators"—controllable systems that can mimic other, less accessible phenomena.
