Abstract

Sensors based on quantum mechanical properties of light and matter offer unique capabilities and performance sometimes difficult to achieve using classical approaches. NASA Engineering and Safety Center has convened an independent external panel, comprised of Quantum Sensing Experts from the Government, DoD, academia, and Federally funded Research and Development Centers to conduct an independent technical assessment of the agency's capabilities in Quantum Sensing to understand NASA's internal needs and competencies related to Quantum Sensing and compare agency capabilities with those available externally including industry, academia, and other government agencies. This assesses focused on suitability of quantum sensing for current and future NASA needs. Measurement and sensing needs across NASA were reviewed as a driver for the possible incorporation of existing quantum sensors into the NASA portfolio and the development of next-generation quantum sensors. This presentation will describe a set of findings and recommendations to guide future investment and activity at NASA in this important and growing technology area.
