Quantum technologies and quantum information theory can offer unprecedented insight into fundamental physics. Quantum technologies offer the precision frontier as opposed to the high energy frontier to glean the workings of nature. At UCL, research in this area is being carried out in varied directions.
The Quantum Technologies for Neutrino Mass Program builds on recent investments in quantum sensors and aims to carry out an experiment capable of a positive measurement of the absolute neutrino mass.
The Center for Quantum Information and Spacetime (CQIS) pursues experimental proposals to test spacetime's quantum nature and is developing a theoretical alternatives to quantum gravity, called “postquantum gravity”
The Atomic, Molecular, Optical and Positron Physics Group is engaged in Antimatter-gravity and tests of the Weak Equivalence principle and tests of fundamental symmetries and searches for Beyond Standard Model physics with ultracold molecules
Using cutting-edge quantum sensors, researchers at UCL aim to uncover elusive dark matter particles, leveraging sensitive techniques like levitated optomechanics to reveal weak, otherwise undetectable interactions with galactic dark matter."
