Theory & Simulation

Theory and simulation activities encompass the development of models, simulation tools and fundamental research to underpin the practical development of quantum sensors.

Team: Samuel Lellouch, Kevin Ridley, Geoffrey de Villiers, Michael Holynski

New Techniques

We are developing comprehensive models of lab-based systems, and seek to address challenges such as sensitivity improvements, resilience to systematic effects and reduced system complexity through the implementation of novel approaches including new operation schemes for atom interferometry, post-processing techniques and innovative atom-optics.

Digital Twins

We aim to build full digital twins of quantum sensors and collaborate with experimentalists, engineers and industrial partners to accelerate, via digital simulation, the manufacturing and industrial uptake of quantum sensors in applications relevant to positioning and navigation systems, space, civil engineering, and fundamental physics.

Quantum Science

On the more fundamental side, we are developing theoretical research on quantum systems, including ultra-cold quantum gases and matter-light interactions, in the aim to unveil new physics that could become key to the next generation of quantum technologies.
