Atom Interferometry techniques to produce a working gravity gradiometer for applications outside of the lab

研究将进行原子干涉测量技术的使用，以产生一个工作重力梯度仪的应用在实验室之外。传统的重力测量技术在灵敏度上已经达到了一个平台期。量子物理学提供了重力和重力梯度测量灵敏度的阶跃变化。然而，为了在实际应用中发挥作用，这项技术必须进一步开发，以使其足够强大，可以在实验室之外使用。本研究的目的是推进原子干涉测量中涉及的组件技术。这是为了在保持高灵敏度的同时，生产出尺寸、重量和功耗合适的便携式重力仪。

Research will be conducted into the use of Atom Interferometry techniques to produce a working gravity gradiometer for applications outside of the lab. Conventional gravity survey techniques have reached a plateau in sensitivity. Quantum physics offers a step change in sensitivity of gravity and gravity gradient measurements. However, to be useful in real-world applications, this technology must be developed further to be robust enough for use outside of the laboratory. The aim of this research is to advance the component technologies involved in atom interferometry. This is to produce portable gravimeters with appropriate size, weight and power consumption while maintaining high sensitivity.
