NAME YOUR SOLUTION

0/50

PLEASE SUMMARIZE YOUR APPROACH.

0/500

PLEASE DESCRIBE YOUR IDEA AND INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ASPECTS.
(max. 9000 characters, approx. 1500 words)

Overall concept:

Explain the targeted application and your approach to integrate and process quantum sensing data to generate valuable information.

Why do you expect added value through the quantum sensor that cannot be created by classical sensor systems.

0/9000

DESCRIBE YOUR APPROACH AND APPLICATION IN DETAIL.
(max. 9000 characters, approx. 1500 words)

Which application are you addressing? Do you expect a quantum sensor to create new applications or can it drastically improve existing ones? Why is the application relevant?

In which setup will you use a quantum sensor or synthesized quantum sensor data?

Describe how different modalities are combined?

How do you expect the quantum sensor to boost the overall significance of the extracted information?

What kind of quantum sensor will you use?

Alternatively, how and under which assumptions will you synthesize quantum sensor data? On which real systems will the data be based (e.g. reference to publications)? Will you be able to able to vary the quality/parameters of the data set? Explain your strategy to synthesize data and how it is based on realistic assumptions that either can be reached by existing systems or defines requirements for new sensors that are within realistic physical constraints. Cite references.

How will you create a robust baseline that demonstrates the case without quantum sensing?

How can you isolate and trace the impact of the quantum sensor

Explain how you will work on defining constraints on quantum sensors derived from the targeted application

PLEASE DESCRIBE YOUR WORK PLAN COVERING THE FOLLOWING ASPECTS.
(max. 6000 characters, approx. 1000 words)

Please present a work plan that shows the work packages necessary to complete the goals of this Funke.

The plan should cover the entire duration of the two stages. The plan should also contain information on what exact objectives you are planning to have achieved after the first stage.

The plan should also contain information on where collaboration and subcontracting work packages will be required.

The plan should contain cost information, including contributions by the team or the team’s institution (e. g. personnel, licenses, infrastructure) for both stages of the Funke

The plan should include indications of commercialization strategies, including necessary next steps, collaborations or extensions of the team.

0/6000

PLEASE STATE YOUR FINANCIAL COST ESTIMATE FOR STAGE 1
(max. 200.000 EUR) (max 100 characters, in EUR)

Please specify in your cost plan the ratio between hardware/compute costs and all other cost categories. You may upload this breakdown as part of your cost plan as an attachment.

0/100

PLEASE PRESENT YOUR TEAM.
(max. 3000 characters, approx. 500 words)

Why are you the best person to do this? Why is your team the best suited to achieve the goal of this Funke? Do you have specific data science expertise?

What relevant field-specific expertise and experience do you already have and with whom?

Describe any steps or partnerships and collaborations your team will take/has taken to advance this project beyond the academic environment.

Please attach the CVs of the key personnel.
