Quantum sensor for absolute magnetic field & absolute temperature measurement

Quantum sensors have high potential when it comes to very accurate and absolute measurements of magnetic field and temperature. Possibly a quantum sensor can be used to measure the earth magnetic field very accurately, and therefore has the promise to replace or add to GPS positioning. In this project the theory of a quantum sensor will be summarized, important components to build a quantum sensor will be identified and specified, in order to enable modelling of a quantum sensor system in Matlab/Simulink (or an alternative modelling tool).
