SUMMARY:Atomic Quantum Sensors for Seismology - Jeremiah Mitchell\, Univer
 sity of Cambridge

DESCRIPTION:Quantum technologies have been rapidly developing over the pas
 t two decades. They are now at a stage of maturity where quantum sensors\,
  which utilize quantum systems and their properties for sensing\, are bein
 g deployed in the field and provide an unprecedented level of sensitivity 
 and precision for measuring accelerations\, rotations\, and gravitational 
 gradients. In addition to these field deployable sensors\, an internationa
 l effort is pushing for very large-scale instruments with applications in 
 fundamental physics\, searching for ultralight dark matter and gravitation
 al waves in an unexplored frequency domain. In this seminar I will introdu
 ce one variant of quantum sensors based on ultra cold atoms: atom interfer
 ometry. The current state of both mobile and large-scale atom interferomet
 ers will be presented\, and we will explore their applications for Earth S
 ciences\, specifically seismology\, as well as their limitations. This nov
 el instrumentation provides an exciting path forward in terms of multi-dis
 ciplinary research bridging geophysics and fundamental physics through the
  portal of quantum mechanics.
