Description

The goal of this workshop is to explore the most promising directions for applying quantum sensing technologies to DOE-OHEP science targets, with a focus on sensors that could be deployed in future DOE-funded experiments.  While we will provide an overview of existing DOE-OHEP quantum sensing programs for context, the workshop's main emphasis will be on novel ideas that can form the foundation of new DOE-OHEP quantum sensing programs or possibly to significantly enhance current programs. The goal is to pinpoint areas where DOE-OHEP can have a unique impact, leveraging its people, technological capabilities, and facilities. We are particularly interested in identifying new research directions not currently covered by existing funding sources and which could benefit the DOE-OHEP mission.


The in-person workshop is open to invited participants and we will have a hybrid town hall to capture ideas from the broader community.  Travel and other local information can be found on the event page here: https://campuspress.yale.edu/quantisedhep23/.
