项目摘要

MISTIQUE will accelerate the practical benefits of quantum sensors for society. It will derive its research program from the innovation needs of future transport systems and lay the physics and engineering foundations for practical deployment in the real world.MISTIQUE will address the need for solutions providing accurate navigation and timing without the use of satellite navigation services, or when these are unusable for periods of time. While satellite navigation services are immensely successful and readily available to everyone in their smartphones and cars, they have one significant drawback in their vulnerability to disruption. Such disruption by natural solar activity, or manmade jamming and spoofing devices has become a threat to our critical national infrastructure and our ability to navigate. Quantum sensors can in principle provide an extremely resilient solution to this challenge, however they still are too bulky, costly and sensitive to be routinely operated on a moving platform.MISTIQUE will build upon the successes of the UK National Quantum Technology Hub in Sensors and Timing and hone in on the critical research challenges, which will allow the deployment of quantum sensors on moving platforms, ranging from marine vessels to aeroplanes in the first instance.This will provide the seed-corn to a larger research programme across civil and defence applications. It will provide the UK with small, cost-effective, robust and resilient solutions to critical national infrastructure, such as communication, energy and transport networks, land and water management as well as border control and instil the respective knowledge into the national supply chain.

Mistique将加速量子传感器对社会的实际好处。它将从未来运输系统的创新需求中得出研究计划，并为现实世界中的实用部署奠定物理和工程基础。同类将满足在不使用卫星导航服务的情况下提供准确的导航和时机的解决方案的需求，或者当这些服务不可用的时间不可用时。尽管卫星导航服务取得了巨大的成功，并且在智能手机和汽车中的每个人都很容易获得，但他们在脆弱性中遇到了一个重要的缺点。自然太阳能活动的破坏，或人造的干扰和欺骗装置已成为对我们关键的国家基础设施的威胁和我们的导航能力。 Quantum sensors can in principle provide an extremely resilient solution to this challenge, however they still are too bulky, costly and sensitive to be routinely operated on a moving platform.MISTIQUE will build upon the successes of the UK National Quantum Technology Hub in Sensors and Timing and hone in on the critical research challenges, which will allow the deployment of quantum sensors on moving platforms, ranging from marine vessels to aeroplanes in the first instance.This will provide跨民事和国防应用的大型研究计划的种子呢。它将为英国提供针对关键国家基础设施的小型，成本效益，鲁棒和弹性的解决方案，例如通信，能源和运输网络，土地和水管理以及边境控制，并将各自的知识灌输到国家供应链中。
