Abstract given by the source: We will prepare a plan for a Cluster of Excellence on Quantum Sensing, Metrology, and Control (Q-SMaC) to coordinate, strengthen, and further develop the research activities in the field of quantum sensing in Sweden. Q-SMaC would take advantage of fundamental quantum mechanical properties, such as superposition, entanglement, and coherence, to perform measurements with unprecedented sensitivity, accuracy, and precision. Quantum sensing technologies are, thus, capable of measuring quantities such as time and frequency, electromagnetic fields, gravity, and acceleration, with an accuracy that exceeds that of any classical sensor. The planning of Q-SMaC will ensure fundamental discoveries and ground-breaking applications based on developing and exploiting quantum sensors in biological and medical systems, geology, materials design, and other areas. The planning of Q-SMaC will be carried out by about 50 research groups and about 10 industrial and institutional partners across Sweden with complementary expertise in solid-state and microwave systems, material science and quantum theory, trapped ions and atomic gases, opto- and electromechanical systems and quantum optics and ultrafast light-matter systems. Q-SMaC will be planned around three key objectives of quantum sensing: fundamental physics, novel technologies, and real-world applications. Altogether, the vision of Q-SMaC is to make a significant technological and societal impact in Sweden based on quantum sensing technologies.
