Advanced Atomic Sources for Precision Measurement

在我们这个技术驱动的社会中，许多进步都依赖于对加速度、磁场和电场等量的精确测量。更高的测量精度会带来明显的经济或战略优势。我们期望为澳大利亚工业和政府部门提供新的和更好的方法，用加速度计、陀螺仪和重力梯度仪进行精确测量。这一提议将使澳大利亚成为相干原子干涉测量新技术的国际领先者，其他国家屈指可数。预计该提案将导致创新的原型设备以及重要的可专利技术。

Many advances in our technology-driven society rely on the precision measurement of quantities such as accelerations, magnetic and electric fields. A higher level of measurement precision leads to a clear economic or strategic advantage. We expect to provide the Australian industrial and government sectors with new and better methods for making precise measurements with accelerometers, gyroscopes and gravity gradiometers. This proposal will place Australia with only a handful of other countries as an international leader in the new technology of coherent atom interferometry. It is expected that this proposal will lead to innovative prototype devices as well as significant patentable technology.
