| Summary:
A subset of QuantISED Sensor PIs met virtually on May 26, 2020 to discuss a
response to a charge by the DOE Office of High Energy Physics. In this
document, we summarize the QuantISED sensor community discussion, including a
consideration of HEP science enabled by quantum sensors, describing the
distinction between Quantum 1.0 and Quantum 2.0, and discussing
synergies/complementarity with the new DOE NQI centers and with research
supported by other SC offices.
Quantum 2.0 advances in sensor technology offer many opportunities and new
approaches for HEP experiments. The DOE HEP QuantISED program could support a
portfolio of small experiments based on these advances. QuantISED experiments
could use sensor technologies that exemplify Quantum 2.0 breakthroughs. They
would strive to achieve new HEP science results, while possibly spinning off
other domain science applications or serving as pathfinders for future HEP
science targets. QuantISED experiments should be led by a DOE laboratory, to
take advantage of laboratory technical resources, infrastructure, and expertise
in the safe and efficient construction, operation, and review of experiments.
The QuantISED PIs emphasized that the quest for HEP science results under the
QuantISED program is distinct from the ongoing DOE HEP programs on the energy,
intensity, and cosmic frontiers. There is robust evidence for the existence of
particles and phenomena beyond the Standard Model, including dark matter, dark
energy, quantum gravity, and new physics responsible for neutrino masses,
cosmic inflation, and the cosmic preference for matter over antimatter. Where
is this physics and how do we find it? The QuantISED program can exploit new
capabilities provided by quantum technology to probe these kinds of science
questions in new ways and over a broader range of science parameters than can
be achieved with conventional techniques.
