Quantum Sensing for (low and high energy) particle physics
Dr. Michael Doser (CERN, Genf, Switzerland)

The seminar will provide a glimpse of some elements of the rapidly evolving field of quantum sensing, with a particular focus on applications in particle physics. Specific approaches involving quantum systems, such as low-dimensional systems or manipulations of ensembles of quantum systems, hold great promise for improving high-energy particle physics detectors, particularly in areas like calorimetry, tracking, and timing. The use of quantum sensors for high-precision measurements, such as precision spectroscopy of novel atomic, molecular or ionic systems, as well as the development of new quantum sensors based on superconducting circuits, ion and particle traps, crystals, and nanomaterials, are equally relevant for low energy measurements that rely on high energy physics infrastructures.

Significant advances and improvements in existing or future quantum technologies will be necessary to address such topics related to the dark universe, the detection of relic neutrinos, precision tests of symmetries and of the standard model and probing general foundational issues in physics. The seminar will thus also feature discussions of the Quantum Sensing Initiatives at CERN and the ECFA R&D Roadmap on Quantum Sensing and Advanced Technologies and will discuss options for future collaborations in the context of the recently approved DRD5 implementation of the roadmap.
