• Abstract summary: Quantum accelerometers are very promising for future satellite gravity missions. Their limitations due to the low measurement rate and the existence of ambiguities in the raw sensor measurements call for hybridization of the quantum accelerometer with a classical one. We performed a more advanced hybridization simulation by implementing a comprehensive noise model for the satellite-based quantum accelerometers. We found that implementing a hybrid accelerometer onboard a future gravity mission improves the gravity solution by one to two orders in lower and higher degrees.

• Abstract: Cold atom interferometry (CAI)-based quantum accelerometers are very promising for future satellite gravity missions thanks to their strength in providing long-term stable and precise measurements of non-gravitational accelerations. However, their limitations due to the low measurement rate and the existence of ambiguities in the raw sensor measurements call for hybridization of the quantum accelerometer (Q-ACC) with a classical one (e.g., electrostatic) with higher bandwidth. While previous hybridization studies have so far considered simple noise models for the Q-ACC and neglected the impact of satellite rotation on the phase shift of the accelerometer, we perform here a more advanced hybridization simulation by implementing a comprehensive noise model for the satellite-based quantum accelerometers and considering the full impact of rotation, gravity gradient, and self-gravity on the instrument. We perform simulation studies for scenarios with different assumptions about quantum and classical sensors and satellite missions. The performance benefits of the hybrid solutions, taking the synergy of both classical and quantum accelerometers into account, will be quantified. We found that implementing a hybrid accelerometer onboard a future gravity mission improves the gravity solution by one to two orders in lower and higher degrees. In particular, the produced global gravity field maps show a drastic reduction in the instrumental contribution to the striping effect after introducing measurements from the hybrid accelerometers.

The CLARM can generate projections at various accelerator sampling modules by capturing and decoding the latent space representation. The results demonstrate that the generative and forecasting ability of the proposed approach is promising when tested against a variety of evaluation metrics.

  We show that the rate of gravity mediated entanglement can be significantly increased by modulating the optomechanical coupling. Modifications increase decoherence effects at the same rate as the entanglement improvements. An immediate consequence is that probing superpositions of the gravitational field places similar demands on detector sensitivity as entanglement verification.

  Einstein Equivalence Principle (EEP) underpins all metric theories of gravity. The iconic gravitational red-shift experiment places two fermionic systems, used as clocks, in different gravitational potentials. A fundamental point in the implementation of a satellite large-distance optical interferometric experiment is the suppression of the first-order Doppler effect. We propose a novel scheme to suppress it, by subtracting the phase-shifts measured in the one-way and in the two-way configuration between a ground station and a satellite.
