To increase our ability to sense the changes in the environment around us, we must understand how to control the quantum properties of light and matter at the fundamental limits of their interaction. As such, quantum sensing is poised to bring paradigm-shifting transformations to how precision measurements are performed. Given the central role that MIR spectroscopy plays on many of the pressing issues facing modern society, there is an urgent need for systematic investments into the innovation and development of MIR quantum technologies for sensing applications. MIRAQLS brings together an interdisciplinary team of Canadian and European researchers, together with industry partners, who share a long-term vision for the development of MIR quantum photonic technologies for sensing applications. Our team combines expertise in quantum photonics, materials science, optoelectronic component development, MIR laser science and spectroscopy, biophotonics, photonic inverse design, quantum optics theory, and quantum information science, and quantum technologies. MIRAQLS aims to tackle some of the biggest challenges that have hampered the development of MIR quantum technologies, while at the same time delivering concept demonstrators, such as quantum-enhanced Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer (q-FTIR), quantum-enhanced optical coherence tomography (q-OCT) and SU(1,1) interferometry. By manipulation of quantum statistics of the input states, e.g. squeezing and entanglement operations, we aim to achieve better sensitivity bounds in comparison to the classical technology, limited to the operation at the standard quantum limit (SQL). Improvements in MIR sensing will directly translate to increased societal well-being, safety, and prosperity; it becomes indispensable in the context of the global fight against the looming climate crisis.

为了提高我们感知我们周围环境变化的能力，我们必须了解如何以其相互作用的基本限制来控制光和物质的量子特性。因此，量子传感有望将范式转换转换带入精确测量的方式。鉴于miR光谱在现代社会面临的许多紧迫问题上发挥的核心作用，因此迫切需要对MiR量子技术进行感应应用的创新和开发进行系统的投资。 Miraqls将加拿大和欧洲研究人员组成的跨学科团队与行业合作伙伴一起汇集了跨学科的团队，他们为开发MiR量子光电技术用于传感应用而具有长期愿景。我们的团队结合了量子光子学，材料科学，光电组件开发，miR激光科学和光谱，生物光子学，光子逆设计，量子光学理论和量子信息科学以及量子技术的专业知识。 Miraqls旨在解决阻碍MiR量子技术开发的一些最大挑战，同时提供概念示威者，例如量子增强的傅立叶傅立叶转换红外光谱仪（Q-FTIR），量子 - 增强光学相干术（Q-ORENCE COHERESCONCE（Q-OCT）（Q-OCT）（Q-OCT）和SU（1,11,1）。通过操纵输入状态的量子统计，例如挤压和纠缠操作，我们旨在与经典技术相比，仅限于以标准量子限制（SQL）的操作来实现更好的灵敏度界限。 mir感应的改善将直接转化为社会福祉，安全和繁荣的增加。在全球抗击迫在眉睫的气候危机的背景下，它变得必不可少。
