Quantum Sensors Based on Matter-Waves

Watch a 57-minute lecture exploring the cutting-edge developments in quantum precision metrology through matter-wave inertial sensors. Delve into how atom coherent manipulation techniques have revolutionized precision measurements, particularly in accelerometers, gyrometers, and gravimeters. Learn about groundbreaking experiments conducted in microgravity environments aboard the Novespace Zero-g aircraft, where matter-wave interferometers test Einstein's Weak Equivalence Principle using different atomic species. Discover the MIGA instrument being constructed in Rustrel, France, designed to monitor gravitational field variations with unprecedented sensitivity for both geophysical studies and Gravitational Wave observations. Presented by Dr. Philippe Bouyer, professor at the University of Amsterdam and Technical University of Eindhoven, coordinator of the Quantum Delta NL's Quantum Sensing program, and co-founder of Exail (formerly Muquans), bringing extensive expertise in matter-wave interferometry and tests of general relativity.
