Quantum Sensors In a Chip (QuSIC) Request for Information (RFI)

Amendment 01: This Amendment provides additional details on the QuSIC workshop. This RFI from DARPA/MTO seeks information regarding the integration of quantum systems into a chip, including atom sources, photonic routing, RF control, atomic readout, optical pumping, and any necessary bias controls into fully-contained, micro-fabricated chips. DARPA is interested in the following classes of quantum systems: (1) thermal atoms/ions, (2) thermal atom beams, (3) cold atoms/ions, and (4) solid-state defects.

Furthermore, DARPA is interested in how these micro-fabricated quantum chips be developed towards sensing applications such as magnetometry, electrometry, gravimetry, timing, IMUs, ionizing radiation detection, and reference oscillators.
