Hot Atom-Based Quantum Sensors

Dr. Irina Novikova

Atoms are the most natural quantum sensors. They have been at the heart of precision measurement experiments thanks to our exquisite understanding of light-atom interactions and quantum control.

In this talk, I will discuss our current applications of the current status of hot atom-based sensors and potential quantum enhancement of their performance and will present some recent results on applications of atomic magnetometry and electrometry for charged particle beam and plasma diagnostics.
