This project will combine world-leading Australian signal stabilisation technology with recent developments in quantum sensors to demonstrate the world’s first quantum telescope. This project expects to demonstrate that quantum detectors can feasibly link optical telescopes, separated by hundreds of kilometres, to achieve extremely high-resolution imaging. Expected outcomes are the development of technologies that will enable imaging with resolution more than 20 times better than any existing telescope. This will provide significant benefits for astronomy, space situational awareness, and defence.

该项目将联合收割机世界领先的澳大利亚信号稳定技术与量子传感器的最新发展相结合，以展示世界上第一台量子望远镜。该项目预计将证明量子探测器可以可行地连接相距数百公里的光学望远镜，以实现极高分辨率的成像。预期的成果是开发技术，使成像的分辨率比任何现有望远镜都高20倍以上。这将为天文学、空间态势感知和国防提供重大益处。
