Abstract:
In this talk, we will discuss quantum technologies in space, covering Bose-Einstein Condensates, atomic interferometers, Rydberg radars, and atomic clocks. We explore their significance in enhancing our understanding of quantum mechanics and gravity and their applications in geophysics, space missions, navigation, and precise timekeeping.

Speaker:
Dr. Saesun Kim is a postdoctoral fellow in Quantum Sciences & Technology group at JPL. Saesun received a Ph.D. in Physics from the Center for Quantum Research and Technology at the University of Oklahoma. Specializing in entangled light applications for atomic sensors, Saesun has won an international hackathon for developing quantum deep-learning algorithms using Qiskit and founding two startups in the quantum sensor and IT. Currently, Saesun is working on the miniaturization of a quantum inertial sensor based on atomic interferometry, aiming for integration into satellites to support gravitational field measurements.
