Thermal shielding of macroscopic quantum experiments in space
Testing the relationship between quantum and classical physics and, in particular, quantum decoherence in space was identified by the European Space Agency (ESA) as an area of interest for future space missions in the course of ESA’s call for New Science Ideas. ESA is currently performing a detailed engineering study at its Concurrent Design Facility (CDF) to investigate the possible design and the required core technologies and challenges for potentially realizing ...
