Official Description

Quantum sensors based on atoms offer the opportunity to produce measurements with excellent sensitivity or long-term stability, making them attractive use in atomic clocks, magnetometers, or inertial sensors. In these sensors, the atomic vapor represents the sensing media where variations in signal magnitude from fluctuations in atom number can lead to instability or loss of sensitivity. Maintaining consistent signal throughout environmental conditions represents one of several key design criter...
