Deployable Atomic Clocks and Inertial Sensors

Quantum sensors will broadly impact industries including transportation and logistics, telecommunications, aerospace, defense, and geophysical exploration. They offer transformative performance gains over conventional technologies; atomic clocks are precise to 1 second in 50 billion years. However, these laboratory devices are large, fragile, and expensive. Commercial quantum devices require redesign from the ground up with a focus on real-world operability. This talk will cover the practical challenges of developing quantum sensors and clocks and highlight Vector Atomic’s recent demonstrations of these technologies in real world environments.
