This project aims to address the challenge of fully traceable, secure and certified dissemination of the high precision national timescale from NPL and the National Timing Centre to provide a UK sovereign solution for critical national infrastructure and to support the security of our emerging digital society. A variety of critical infrastructure services...

To develop innovative, world-leading, high power industrial microwave generators for large scale microwave processing and to maximise the business opportunities that commercially benefit from their use.

This project will develop a pre-production prototype of a miniature atomic clock for providing precise timing to a variety of critical infrastructure services, such as reliable energy supply, safe transport links, mobile communications, data networks and electronic financial transactions. The precise measurement of time is fundamental to the effective fun...

"Despite our increasing ability to detect and monitor objects that exist on land, sea, around buildings or in space, our ability to detect objects beneath the ground has not improved significantly. When it comes to attempting to locate a buried and forgotten pipe, telling the extent of a sink hole or assessing the quality of infrastructure we still often ...

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a well understood application of quantum technology and there are several metropolitan fibre networks already established for QKD services. However, key distribution is limited by absorption inside optical fibres which mean that transmissions over distances greater than about 150 km are impractical. Free space communicati...

"**Low noise and high sensitivity imaging technologies are crucial to the success of quantum technologies. In many cases, the performance of these imaging technologies directly relates to the sensitivity that can be achieved by quantum sensors, the performance of quantum imaging technologies and/or the speed of quantum computer systems.** **Teledyne e2v w...

"Organic polymers are used in a range of sectors including composites for vehicles and aircraft; performance coatings and packaging and are difficult to synthesise at industrial scale. The manufacturing performance of industrial polymers is typically undertaken in large stirred tank reactors, heated by oil or steam jackets. These are characterised by long...

New developments in quantum technology have resulted in the ability to cool atoms close to absolute zero using lasers and magnetic fields. Laboratory experiments have shown that these "cold atoms" can be used as ultra-sensitive sensors for measuring gravity. Using these sensors in space will enable the mapping of tiny changes in the strength of gravity ac...

The opportunity that this project addresses is the use of quantum based gravity sensors to detect buried assets or structures. However, for many applications, quantum sensors are still very new or unknown and still possess technical barriers towards adoption, and hence potential end-users find it difficult to judge their true potential. Modelling has show...

Precise measurement of time is fundamental to the effective functioning of services we take for granted in modern society. This project is a major step in developing a reliable, widely available timing standard that is one hundred times more stable and accurate than those commercial systems in use today. It will enhance resilience and reliability of energ...

The coming gravity sensors based on Quantum Technologies (QT) have the potential to disrupt existing surveying practices through dramatically improved measurement sensitivities. GRAM is a collaboration between Teledyne e2v, RSK, the Canal & River Trust, the Coal Authority, Cranfield University and the University of Birmingham (UoB) to establish the Quantu...

The precise measurement of time is fundamental to the effective functioning of the services we take for granted in modern society. This project will develop a pre-production prototype of a miniature atomic clock for precise timing in a variety of essential services such as reliable energy supply, safe transport links, mobile communications, data networks ...
