Funded Activity Summary

Quantum metrology with strongly correlated Rydberg gases. The project aims to make the world's most sensitive measurement of high-frequency electric fields, and demonstrate the first quantum-enhanced electric field measurement. It will use quantum entanglement and Rydberg atoms, excited to the very edge of the classical/quantum divide, to reach record sensitivities for fields associated with next generation ultrafast electronic, communication and radar devices. The project aims to build on the existing Australian research strengths in photonics, atomic physics and quantum sensing, with the potential to provide a disruptive technological breakthrough in the measurement of ultra-high-frequency electric fields, and establish a high profile research effort in the field of strongly correlated quantum gases.
