Description

There is an enhanced global activity since 2019 to implement the redefined SI units in terms of the fundamental constants. While this area is known as Quantum Metrology, another area has gained prominence as quantum technologies mature across various domains. In areas such as communications, computing, and sensing, there is a need for calibration, testing, and certification facilities to support emerging industries. Single photon metrology is one such area that encompasses non-classical light sources, single-photon detectors, quantum random numbers, among others. Another important area is quantum sensors, such as magnetometers, electrometers, and gyroscopes. In this talk, after introducing quantum metrology, I will present recent work at CSIR-NPL in these areas.
