N2 - A new class of atomic interferences using ultranarrow optical transitions are pushing quantum engineering control to a very high level of precision for the next generation of sensors and quantum gate operations. In such context, we propose a new quantum engineering approach to Ramsey-Bordé interferometry introducing multiple composite laser pulses with tailored pulse duration, Rabi field amplitude, frequency detuning and laser phase step. We explore quantum metrology with hyper-Ramsey and hyper-Hahn-Ramsey clocks below the 10-18 level of fractional accuracy by fine-tuning control of light excitation parameters leading to spinor interferences protected against light-shift coupled to laser-probe field variation. We review cooperative composite pulse protocols to generate robust Ramsey-Bordé, Mach-Zehnder, and double-loop atomic sensors shielded against measurement distortion related to Doppler and light shifts coupled to pulse area errors. Fault-tolerant autobalanced hyperinterferometers are introduced eliminating several technical laser pulse defects that can occur during the entire probing interrogation protocol. Quantum sensors with composite pulses and ultracold atomic sources should offer a new level of high accuracy in the detection of acceleration and rotation inducing phase shifts, a strong improvement in tests of fundamental physics with hyperclocks while paving the way to a new conception of atomic interferometers tracking space-time gravitational waves with very high sensitivity.
