Quantum Research in The Maritimes

Atoms are extremely sensitive to gravitational and electromagnetic fields. This makes them versatile tools to construct high-precision quantum devices. Our research focusses on harnessing the wave-like properties of ultracold atoms to realize new types of quantum sensors for fundamental physics, geodesy and geoscience, and real-world applications such as natural resource exploration, and positioning, navigation, and timing.

Project

UHV Systems for
Quantum Physics

We design non-magnetic ultra-high vacuum systems for experiments in quantum physics.

Quartz Cell

Cold Atom Source

We generate a cold atomic beam from a compact quartz cell integrated with a rubidium vapour dispensor.

Optics - Beatnote

Ultra-Stable Laser Systems

We design low-noise electronics to control ultra-stable
fiber-based laser systems.

ARTIQ

Real-Time Quantum Control

We develop software for real-time systems based on ARTIQ hardware to implement quantum control algorithms.
