Capitalize on the remarkable analogies that have recently emerged between two previously unrelated classes of quantum systems with potentially fascinating applications: ultracold-atom (UCA) degenerate gases and solid-state superconductors (SC). These analogies stem from the notion of macroscopic quantum-coherent transport known as supercurrent, common to both fields.
Possible breakthroughs of MIDAS are...
  1. noise control, allowing high-fidelity quantum operations
  2. entanglement of collective variables, which are prerequisites for high-precision metrology, weak-signal sensing and teleportation near their ultimate quantum limits
  3. exploration of the feasibility of interfacing UCA and SC quantum storage/readout systems, so as to attempt closing the classical gap separating these two quantum technologies.
