Precision clocks are a key enabler for many important technologies including navigation, radar, distributed computing and communications. Unfortunately, the very best clocks are currently bulky and very expensive. This project will take Australia’s multi-award winning sapphire clock technology and transform it so that its unmatched performance is available from a unit with an order of magnitude smaller size, power consumption and cost. This transformation will be driven on the back of a patented revolutionary step that allows operation of the sapphire clock at higher cryogenic temperatures. The new clock will have a wider range of applications delivering more computational power, higher bandwidth transmissions and better radar.

精密时钟是许多重要技术的关键推动者，包括导航、雷达、分布式计算和通信。不幸的是，目前最好的时钟体积庞大，价格昂贵。该项目将采用澳大利亚屡获殊荣的蓝宝石时钟技术，并对其进行改造，使其具有无与伦比的性能，并且尺寸、功耗和成本都要小一个数量级。这一转变将以一项革命性的专利步骤为基础，该步骤允许蓝宝石时钟在更高的低温下运行。新的时钟将有更广泛的应用，提供更多的计算能力，更高的带宽传输和更好的雷达。
