Sébastien Merlet develops quantum gravimeters since more than 20 years. One of his sensor is the French gravimetry reference standard and was the first quantum sensor to participate to CIPM International Key Comparison. He also leads the French reference gravimetry laboratory that he developed and characterizes since more than 20 years. Part of MetriQs-France platform, the facility hosted at LNE, it is used to characterize, test and calibrate quantum gravimeters of different class in Qu-Test and EQUIP-G projects. Since mid 2025, Sébastien Merlet leads the Horizon Europe project EQUIP-G to establish an European perennial entity for quantum gravimetry.
