The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) develops a broad range of technologies to support space-based quantum sensing and communications, uses the space environment to study fundamental quantum processes to advance our knowledge of physics, and develops algorithms to attack complex science problems that might be solved using quantum computing. This paper describes quantum sensors that NASA has flown on space missions, investments that NASA is making to develop quantum sensors, and possible approaches to employ quantum sensing to study the attributes of distant stars and planets, the Sun, Earth, and fundamental properties of matter.
期刊介绍:
Driven by advances in technology and experimental capability, the last decade has seen the emergence of quantum technology: a new praxis for controlling the quantum world. It is now possible to engineer complex, multi-component systems that merge the once distinct fields of quantum optics and condensed matter physics.
EPJ Quantum Technology covers theoretical and experimental advances in subjects including but not limited to the following:
Quantum measurement, metrology and lithography
Quantum complex systems, networks and cellular automata
Quantum electromechanical systems
Quantum optomechanical systems
Quantum machines, engineering and nanorobotics
Quantum control theory
Quantum information, communication and computation
Quantum thermodynamics
Quantum metamaterials
The effect of Casimir forces on micro- and nano-electromechanical systems
Quantum biology
Quantum sensing
Hybrid quantum systems
Quantum simulations.
