QAPTCHA - Quantum Atom-based Positioning for Train Control with a Hybrid Accelerometer
1 Apr 2025 to 31 Mar 2027
Quantum sensing technologies offer levels of measurement precision, accuracy, and stability that exceed those offered by classical (or non-quantum) approaches. An area where this performance enhancement shows great potential is in positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) systems. An important subcategory of PNT systems are ones based on inertial navigatio...
ProAtom: Programmable Atom Arrays for Analogue Optimisation Solutions
1 Sep 2023 to 28 Feb 2025
M Squared and the University of Strathclyde have embarked upon a highly productive strategic alliance in the area of neutral atom quantum computing. The collaboration targets the commercialisation of industrially-relevant quantum computing and simulation based on a jointly developed hardware and software platform. The neutral atom approach to quantum comp...
AtomTRAIN: Atom-based Transportation Resilience with Atom Interferometer Navigation
1 Sep 2023 to 30 Nov 2023
Quantum sensing technologies offer levels of measurement precision, accuracy and stability that exceed those offered by classical (or non-quantum) approaches. An area where this performance enhancement shows great potential is in positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) systems. An important subcategory of PNT systems are ones based on inertial navigation...
Innovation Accelerator in Neutral Atom Quantum Optimisation
1 Apr 2023 to 31 Mar 2025
Quantum computing is considered a strategic technology by world leading economies. It will offer a completely new approach to information processing with significant societal, economic, and industrial gains projected. Accelerating economic and commercial gains requires addressing the gap between technology readiness to commercial interest. To de-risk comm...
Grating-based lattice optical clock (G-BLOC)
1 Nov 2022 to 30 Apr 2024
Precision timing is key to all aspects of modern infrastructure, from the national grid, to telecommunications, to financial trading, through to global, national, and individual navigation systems. When we switch on our smartphones or satellite navigation systems, we are unconsciously using networked oscillators utilising the performance of current commer...
ORSAM – Optical Reference Systems via Additive Manufacturing
1 Oct 2022 to 31 Mar 2024
ORSAM seeks to address the critical national infrastructure challenge of delivering cost effective, resilient, distributed timing within the telecommunications core and mobile access networks that we all depend on to deliver the emergency service network, data centre access and interconnect, Industrial IoT, financial transactions and nearly all other form...
GRADUATE
1 Oct 2022 to 31 Mar 2024
Quantum enabled Gravity Gradiometry, the measurement of the rate of spatial change of the earth's gravity field, offers significant performance improvements over conventional gravimetry including much better signal to noise ratios (by cancelling out vibrations) and a method better suited to producing geodesy -- gravity maps. The GRADUATE project (gravity ...
PHASE-ZERO
1 Nov 2021 to 31 Jul 2022
Accurate timing knowledge has a variety of compelling use cases in the context of security and defence applications as well as in the wider economy. Improved access to clocks and reliable, accurate timing references have wide applicability across a number of systems and processes such as the urgent demand for clocks for the financial sector. The developme...
ACCOLADE: ACcelerometry with COLd Atoms in Dynamic Environments
1 Aug 2021 to 31 Jan 2023
Navigation has been at the heart of the UK's prosperity and international standing for centuries and this is closely tied to the nation's historic innovations in the science and engineering of navigation technologies. The strategic roadmaps associated with the UK National Quantum Programme have identified navigation as an area with the potential to benefi...
Robotics for Resilient Environmental Gravimetric Surveying
1 Apr 2021 to 31 Mar 2022
Gravity surveys of construction sites are often legally mandated to check for features such as historically significant remains or uncharted utilities. However conducting these surveys is a role where the construction sector lacks resilience. This task is monotonous, but still reliant on a skilled job role where there are significant labour shortages. In ...
Diamond NV Sensors for Quantum-Limited Magnetic Field Measurements
1 Mar 2021 to 29 Feb 2024
In this proposal we propose to design, build and demonstrate a quantum magnetometer, with the ability to measure extremely weak magnetic fields such as those within the human body or local fluctuations in the earth's magnetic field. This industrial research project brings together a complementary consortium of industrial and research partners in the UK an...
DISCOVERY: Developing UK Industrial Supply for Commercial Quantum Computing
1 Aug 2020 to 31 Jul 2023
The UK has world leading capability in scalable, high fidelity qubit generation for quantum computing, with two particularly compelling approaches being neutral atoms and ion microtraps. These technologies, however, remain at low TRL because a viable commercialisation approach requires the provision of test beds available to the UK community, and test bed...
