What do We Hope to Accomplish With These Studies?<br />

Fundamental studies of quantum mechanics<br />

- Perform experiments to shed light on fundamental issues with QM (e.g.<br />

quantum-classical ‘boundary’; the measurement problem)<br />

Development of new technologies<br />

- Quantum information<br />

- Bio-sensing and imaging<br />

- …<br />

e.g.<br />

Long-distance quantum communication<br />

Studying new frontiers in nature<br />

- Gravitational wave detection<br />

- Energy transfer at the nanoscale and<br />

non-equilbrium fluctuation theorems<br />

e.g.<br />

LIGO interferometer<br />
