The implementation of the ECFA detector R&D roadmap for quantum sensing for particle physics is planned to proceed in several steps: first a workshop among conveners, then the writing of a White Paper (evolving draft) based on this workshop, but with involvment of the different communities interacting with the conveners, then the drafting of a Letter of Interest based on the White paper and to be submitted to a CERN scientific committee, the DRDC by the end of July, 2023. A document describing the process can be found here. If you are interested, please sign up here for regular updates by email.
The six quantum sensing families that form part of the ECFA detector R&D roadmap are:
- clocks and clock networks
- kinetic detectors
- superconducting and spin-based sensors
- optomechanical sensors
- atoms, ions, molecules and atom interferometry
- metamaterials, 0-,1-,2-dimensional materials
