Quantum Imaging of Vector Electromagnetic Radiation (QuIVER)
Abstract
The Quantum Imaging of Vector Electromagnetic Radiation (QuIVER) program, building upon technologies developed in the AMBIIENT program, budgeted within this PE and Project, will develop full tensor magnetic /electric field sensors and demonstrate them in DoD relevant applications and concept of operations. Magnetometers and electrometers are widely used within the DoD and industry. The medical community utilizes sensitive magnetometers for magnetoencephalography and magnetocardiography. In addition to being diagnostically relevant, such sensitive magnetometers could enable future human-machine/brain-machine interfaces. The DoD and industry also uses magnetometers for magnetic anomaly detection, which may allow for the discovery of mineral/oil deposits, discovery of old wellheads, or the detection of improvised explosive devices. In addition, magnetometers offer the possibility of magnetic navigation, which may operate in GPS-denied environments. High sensitivity electrometers are used by industry to locate live current and static electricity sources. Recent developments have resulted in the potential to develop highly sensitive vector electrometers and magnetometers, which would enable the consequent development of sensitive full tensor gradient sensors. Such tensors offer more degrees of freedom than their scalar or vector counterparts and potentially provide additional information about the source.
