Summary on Grant Application Form
The gMOT project will play a key role in the UK's strategic programme to bring the remarkable new capabilities of quantum physics out of research labs and into real world applications. Kelvin Nanotechnology, TMD Technologies and the Universities of Strathclyde and Glasgow have teamed up to create the first miniature cold atom trap source for deployable quantum technologies. This will bring together key processes developed by the partners in areas that include diffractive optics design and fabrication, innovative bonding and sealing methods, physics package encapsulation, complex alkali metal vapour filling techniques and performance evaluation methods. Combining these individual technologies into working prototypes units will also enable rigorous testing by industrial users to assess performance, stability and suitability for the next generation of quantum technology systems in a wide variety of industrial applications.
