QUBIC: The Q and U bolometric interferometer for cosmology
The Q & U Bolometric Interferometer for Cosmology, QUBIC, is an innovative
experiment designed to measure the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background and
in particular the signature left therein by the inflationary expansion of the Universe. The
expected signal is extremely faint, thus extreme sensitivity and systematic control are necessary in order to attempt this measurement. QUBIC addresses these requirements using an
innovative approach combining the sensitivity of Transition Edge Sensor cryogenic bolometers, with the deep control of systematics characteristic of interferometers. This makes
QUBIC unique with respect to others classical imagers experiments devoted to the CMB
polarization. In this contribution we report a description of the QUBIC instrument including
recent achievements and the demonstration of the bolometric interferometry performed in
lab. QUBIC will be deployed at the observation site in Alto Chorrillos, in Argentina at the
end of 2019
