AMO-based quantum technologies for space-based research

The development of quantum technologies has accelerated in response to new insight on how quantum systems, particularly those endowed with quantum entanglement, can provide new capabilities in communication, computation, sensing, and the simulation of physical phenomena. Adapting such experimental methods and technologies to operate in space environments can extend their impact tremendously. I will provide a survey of some experimental methods in AMO science and consider how they might be adapted to space, in a manner that hopefully sets the stage for researchers to engage in the development of space-based quantum technologies, and also for funding agencies to support this important development.
