Enabling Quantum Technologies*
Abstract
*Previously part of Atomic Scale Materials and Devices (U) This thrust emphasizes a quantum focus on technology capabilities with the potential to revolutionize the approach to various military capabilities. It includes significantly improved single photon sources, detectors, and associated devices useful for quantum metrology, communications, and imaging applications. In addition, this thrust will examine other novel classes of materials and phenomena such as plasmons or Bose-Einstein Condensates (BEC) that have the potential to provide novel capabilities in the quantum regime, such as GPS-independent navigation via atom interferometry as well as the potential to generate significant heat from deuterated palladium.
