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

将对原子干涉测量技术的使用进行研究，以生产出适用于实验室以外的应用的重力梯度计。传统的重力测量技术已经达到了灵敏度的平台期。量子物理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，必须进一步开发这项技术，使其足够强大，可以在实验室外使用。本研究的目的是推进原子干涉计量学中涉及的组件技术。这是为了生产具有适当大小、重量和功耗的便携式重力仪，同时保持高灵敏度。

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.
