Survey on Laser usage for Quantum TechnologiesThe rise of cold-atom based quantum technologies requires an increased development of laser technologies, an essential tool for atom manipulation and detection. The required developments are diverse, and should tackle pure optical performances of lasers as well as their reliability, functionalities and ease of use. The atomQtrl program, launched in October 2024 in the context of the France 2030 investment plan, aims to secure France's supply of lasers by funding targeted industrial developments. In order to provide an accurate picture of the current use of laser technologies in cold-atom based quantum technologies, and to precisely map the future needs expressed by end users, we are kindly asking members of the community, both industrial or academic, to take part to a quick survey. The results of this survey will be put into perspective and subsequently shared with the community, and will be used to guide future developments within the atomQtrl program. The atomQtrl operational team would like to thank you for your quite valuable participation in the survey, and remains at your disposal for any discussions or suggestions concerning the atomQtrl program.
