Abstract
This proposal aims at turning quantum sensor technology into reality. Ahead of the anticipated quantum revolution in commercial applications, the proposal will set up a research consortium working on two specific areas of research: (i) Analysis and implementation of new ideas for quantum sensors based on cold atoms interacting with optical cavities and investigations for the first dual-use of sensors for metrology and gravitational interferometry with potentially new applications; (ii) demonstration of new techniques and strategies for miniaturization and simplification of quantum sensors based on atoms trapped in plasmonic nanopotentials. The realized systems will allow studies of new regimes of quantum electrodynamics in cavities and evanescent waves. (AU)
