在伯明翰大学，我们的研究引领新发明，促进创新和商业增长.
使用原子和离子的量子传感器和计量已经建立了超过20年的实验室研究. 在重力测量中，其灵敏度已被证明超过了经典技术, 重力梯度, 磁场, 旋转, me, 在量子成像中.
近年来, there have been many new ideas and promising proof-of-principle demonstrations including: the realisation of large momentum beamsplitiers that offer two or more orders of magnitude sensitivity enhancement; the invention of phase-shear atom interferometry to enable simultaneous measurements of gravity/acceleration and 旋转 in multiple axes; progress on high-bandwidth atom interferometers; adiabatic rf potentials for smooth guiding geometries; the development of grating reflectors to allow single-beam trapping; and the invention of compact atom sources promising smaller, 更健壮的, 传感器.
此外，最近在控制激光束中的光子分布方面也有了突破, 所谓的多模纠缠, 它承诺在成像和光学位置测量中降低噪声.
该中心的目标是将下一代量子技术从实验室科学转化为创新和可销售的产品，能够提供长期的社会效益.
