MASERS are quantum mechanical devices that amplify electromagnetic signals through the stimulated flipping of fixed spins – not through the movement of charge carriers. Unlike amplifiers incorporating thermionic valves or transistors, masers are not electronic. The speaker shall explore the prospect of doing the equivalent of quantum optics at microwave frequencies using masers – without the need for bulky vacuum pumps, cryogenic refrigerators or (even) magnets.
