Description

CSEM is developing quantum metrology and sensing devices based on in-house MEMS atomic vapor cells with integrated functionalities [1]. Such cells were successfully integrated in <5mm flat miniature atomic clock physics packages with state-of-the-art performance [2]. In the context of NMR gyroscopes, parameters like relaxation times of noble atoms nuclear spins as a function of cell size and temperature have been characterized [3].
Here, we will present these projects in more details and show how CSEM’s miniaturization and integration competences could benefit various quantum device developments in Switzerland and Europe.
