PLEASE SUMMARIZE YOUR APPROACH

0/500

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

Explain the discovery method you plan to implement and the target you address.

What shortcoming of current quantum sensor will you be able to overcome? What kind of measurements and applications will you be able to address and improve with the results of your discovery method on the long run?

0/9000

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

Describe how exactly you expect to be able to discover or systematically explore new systems and setups that are relevant for quantum sensing. Why is it a systematic approach beyond serendipitous discoveries. Can it possibly repeatedly deliver candidates.
Describe which class of systems you are targeting and why that could be relevant for quantum sensing. Which sensing modalities, measurement quantities or application areas could be enabled or improved?
Specify the key properties you are searching for, such as coherence time, optical addressability, spin properties, transition energies, brightness, stability, defect formation energy. Is your approach able to include requirements derived from specific applications, e.g. environmental sensitivity, temperature range.
How will you validate the properties of discovered candidates?
Explain which existing knowledge, datasets, publications, models, experimental results or theoretical assumptions inform your search strategy and candidate selection.
Describe how scalable, repeatable and efficient the discovery workflow is.

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.
