2 Base units of the SI (Système International) m cd kg K s mol A

3 Emergence of quantum metrology: numbers and geometry All base quantities of metrology, length, time, mass, electrical quantities, temperature are ultimately measured by optical or matterwave interferometers: - Optical interferometry - Atom interferometry - Optical clocks - Josephson effect - Watt balance - Doppler broadening thermometry - Aharonov Bohm and Aharonov Casher phases - Sagnac effect - Gravitational red shift... Future fundamental metrology will thus deal essentially with phase measurements i.e. invariant numbers. All measured quantities enter these phases through geometrical properties of a 5D space-time which combines 4D space-time and the internal space of objects.

39 Conclusions Action and entropy are the two cornerstones of the future SI. They should be explicitly introduced in its formulation. The definitions for time and mass units are coupled. A natural theoretical framework for the redefinition of the SI is completely provided by the connection between 5D geometry, metric tensor and metrology, that we have outlined. This perspective incorporates naturally all relevant fundamental constants in a logical scheme.
