ACCOLADE: ACcelerometry with COLd Atoms in Dynamic Environments

几个世纪以来，导航一直是英国繁荣和国际地位的核心，这与该国在导航技术科学和工程方面的历史性创新密切相关。与英国国家量子计划相关的战略路线图已将导航确定为一个有可能从新兴量子技术发展中受益匪浅的领域。作为一个市场部门，导航技术支撑着英国的大部分经济产出，同时也在依赖它的不同平台上采取各种形式。该项目旨在开发和测试基于冷原子的加速度计单元，该单元可以在具有挑战性的动态环境中提供有用的性能，包括各种移动平台。

Navigation has been at the heart of the UK's prosperity and international standing for centuries and this is closely tied to the nation's historic innovations in the science and engineering of navigation technologies. The strategic roadmaps associated with the UK National Quantum Programme have identified navigation as an area with the potential to benefit greatly from emerging quantum technology developments. As a market sector, navigation technologies underpin large swathes of the economic output of the UK, whilst also taking a variety of forms across the different platforms that depend upon it. This project seeks to develop and test a cold-atom based accelerometer unit that can deliver useful performance in challenging dynamic environments, including a variety of moving platforms.
