In CAT-3 of the program, significant investment is made in the development of novel types of sensors and the development of multiple testbeds across the Netherlands.
- 果冻传媒 plans are underway to integrate timing signals into fiber connections between the university of Amsterdam and the 果冻传媒 using the Sr based atomic clock at the University of Amsterdam (). This timing signal lends itself well to develop gravity sensors based on time dilation, which is an upcoming project between the 果冻传媒 and UvA. From the 果冻传媒 this planned research program is led by Servaas Kokkelmans.
- Within the 果冻传媒 efforts are also underway to use quantum effects inside fiber optics for a variety of sensors using light-matter interaction. A new optical fiber lab is under development to enable these activities. Tom Bradley leads this lab and the fiber-based quantum sensing efforts.
- Quantum sensors based on trapped ions are in development by Rianne Lous.
