Grant Program:
Discovery Early Career Researcher Award
Grant Activity:
Optimising Space-Based Atom Interferometer Design
Purpose:
This theoretical physics project aims to enable high-precision atom interferometry in space. Atom interferometers could allow measurements of unparalleled precision in the low-gravity, low-noise environment of space, however, size, weight, and power constraints must also influence the design of any space-based device. This project expects to develop implementable strategies for the optimal design and performance of space-based atom interferometers. This could deliver new space-based sensing capabilities, advancing our capacity to monitor the Earth’s fresh water supply, geology, oceans, and ice caps, as well as precipitating much-needed measurements that probe potential quantum gravitational effects.
