Final Report Abstract

During its fife years of funding, the Cluster of Excellence “Centre of Quantum Engineering and Space-Time Research” (QUEST) changed the research landscape of Leibniz Universität Hannover in a sustainable way with large impact on associated partners. QUEST researchers developed and exploited metrology-optimized quantum systems for space-time research to an unprecedented level. With innovative advances in the control of matter with laser light, the field of quantum engineering developed within the cluster to a highly sophisticated level, allowing the exploitation of quantum degrees-of-freedom for use in precision quantum metrology, tests of fundamental physics, and for novel technological applications. QUEST researchers boosted the progress towards the realisation of new quantum sensors functioning at, and beyond, the standard quantum limit, to carry out space-time research in the next generation of gravitational wave detectors on Earth and in space, relativistic geodesy, and for the design of atomic clocks and advanced atom interferometers for inertial sensing. In addition, essential fundamental experiments, including testing the variation of fundamental constants and direct tests of the Einstein equivalence principle were conducted within QUEST, which were only possible due to the interdisciplinary collaboration of scientists from atomic, molecular, and condensed-matter physics, as well as, geodesy, mathematics, general relativity, and fundamental string theory. To face these challenges, the cluster fostered the cooperation of a wide range of top-level partner institutions linked via QUEST to key institutes of physics, geodesy, and mathematics at Leibniz Universität Hannover. The university recognized the cluster’s significance by selecting “Quantum Optics and Gravitational Physics” as one of its main research nuclei. Future interdisciplinary collaborations among QUEST researchers will be focused in a newly built research facility, the Hannover Institute of Technology (HITec), opening in 2016. HITec will provide necessary new infrastructure for QUEST researchers, including a number of state-of-the-art laboratories and large equipment facilities. Leibniz Universität Hannover established a QUEST Leibniz Research School, with powers and responsibilities equivalent to a faculty, to strengthen QUEST research and to establish an optimal governance structure for this interfaculty research institution. Due to the combination of a fruitful scientific environment, the guidance of the QUEST Research School, the contemporary facilities within HITec, and the passion of all participating QUEST members, a high-profile academic centre has been established at Leibniz Universität Hannover, making it a leading location for cutting-edge space-time research and quantum engineering.
