NorCC seminar

→ Europe/Zurich
Heidi Sandaker (University of Oslo (NO)), Nina Waage (University of Oslo (NO))
Description

NorCC Seminar series
The seminar series at NorCC takes place the third Tuesday every month, usually at 12AM CET, and invites both external an internal speakers. Each seminar will be maximum one hour and is an arena to present and discuss a range of topics reflecting the different fields within the centre. 

What is NorCC?

The Norwegian Centre for CERN-related research is a national centre which aims to organize and finance the Norwegian participation in the large and long-term experiments at CERN. This translates into pioneering research in particle and nuclear physics, exploration of new technology and development of networks and opportunities. We will also focus on training the new generation of scientists and engineers and prepare them for the road ahead.

      Quantum Sensing for Fundamental Physics 1h

      A revolution in the tools and techniques making use of quantum mechanics has produced new sensitive measurement techniques that can help the particle physics community to achieve its science objectives in a way highly complementary to traditional particle physics methods. New quantum sensors, for the first time, allow measurements to be made near the intrinsic noise limits imposed by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, as well as enabling enhancements in sensitivity, resolution, and robustness, thereby accelerating searches for new physics; dark matter and dark sectors, searches for new interactions, probing fundamental symmetries and inflation, Related fields that will also be impacted are gravitational wave cosmology, astrophysics, and fundamental tests of quantum mechanics. This leverage works in the other direction also: bringing the unique resources and expertise of the particle physics community to bear on the development of quantum sensors will lead to rapid technology advances that will benefit the quantum information science community and other areas of science.
