Relativistic Quantum Metrology

Abstract

Quantum technologies are getting deployed in space. The target sensitivity, stability and precision of these system may be affected by relativistic effects and in turn allow their use as new probes of fundamental physics. The objectives were to: Characterize localization of photons and effects of gravity in optical interferometry, Identify the effects of spin-gravity couplings in metrology and time keeping, and Design space-based all-optical test of the Einstein Equivalence Principle (EEP). A novel noise-mitigation scheme was developed.
