Michal Hejduk<p>🎉 Exciting News in Quantum Sensing! 🌌</p><p>We are thrilled to announce that we've secured a <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/grant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>grant</span></a> from the Czech Science Foundation (<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/GA%C4%8CR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GAČR</span></a>) to embark on a groundbreaking <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/project" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>project</span></a> set to kick off in January 2024! Over the next three years, our team will dive into the fascinating realm of <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/QuantumSensing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QuantumSensing</span></a> with the aim of revolutionizing radio-frequency detection.</p><p>Project Overview:<br>In collaboration with brilliant minds and cutting-edge technology, we will construct a trapping device capable of simultaneous <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/electron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electron</span></a> and laser-cooled ion storage. This device is not just a piece of equipment; it's a key to unlocking the potential of the ion-electron <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/quantum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quantum</span></a> system for detecting <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/radiofrequency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>radiofrequency</span></a> radiation.</p><p>Goals and Objectives:<br>Our journey includes constructing a sensitive ion vibration detection system, predicting coupling strength, exploring temperature dependence, and observing the dynamic behaviour of the quantum system. We're not stopping there—our team will also test the system's reaction to artificial radio-frequency signals and dive into theoretical investigations on detecting signal phase and direction.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Potential" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Potential</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Impact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Impact</span></a>:<br>Imagine a miniature planar trap equipped with our radio-frequency detection scheme, designed using cutting-edge <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/microwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>microwave</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/circuit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>circuit</span></a> materials developed in tandem with this project. The implications are vast, from enhanced <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/communication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>communication</span></a> systems to novel sensing applications.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Patent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Patent</span></a>-worthy <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Innovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Innovation</span></a>:<br>As the project unfolds, we'll be patenting the design of the planar <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/trap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trap</span></a> and related circuitry, ensuring that our pioneering work receives the recognition and protection it deserves.</p><p>Stay tuned for updates as we dive deep into the mysteries of the ion-electron quantum system! 🚀</p>
