Summary on Grant Application Form
M Squared Lasers and the University of Birmingham are aiming to collaborate in the area of atom interferometric rotation sensors, in order to establish a capability in the strategically important area of quantum-enhanced navigation hardware. The partners have a track record of commercialisation and project delivery in atom interferometry and related gravimeter devices. The proposed work will build upon the partners' collective expertise and close working relationship built up over the last few years in collaborations through Knowledge Transfer Studentships, the UK National Quantum Technology Hub for Sensors and Metrology and Innovate UK projects in atom interferometry and gravimetry. Quantum-enhanced navigation systems aim to deliver ground-breaking performance levels for a variety of applications. The use of atom interferometry for rotation sensing is intended to enable a step change in capability for a key subsystem in future quantum inertial measurement units.
