Summary:

Samra develops telescopes and spectrometers flown on aircraft and balloons to observe the solar corona at EUV and infrared wavelengths, including solar magnetometry, optical design, and modeling — a borderline but included astronomy-instrumentation case given its magnetometric sensing goal, though the platform is a classical (non-quantum) spectropolarimeter.
