ADVANCED QUANTUM SPECTROSCOPY FOR HAZARDS DETECTION
ADVANCED QUANTUM SPECTROSCOPY FOR HAZARDS DETECTION (QUASAR)
The project aims at developing cutting-edge quantum technologies for the detection of several CBRN threats, providing a new diagnostic tool for security applications. Grounding on the promising results of the HADES project (G5839), it focuses on the development of quantum sensors that combine spatial-resolved measurements with frequency correlations. This approach will enable high-precision measurements, achieving performance beyond those of classical devices and operable even in real-world conditions with noise and weak signals. The project also seeks to create broadband photon sources, extending the accessible spectral region from the near-infrared (NIR) to the ultraviolet (UV). Finally, overall performance will be enhanced through an integrated platform and advanced data analysis powered by machine learning algorithms.
