FEMTO-AAD: FEMTO - Advanced Application Demonstrator
Lead Participant:
CHRONOS TECHNOLOGY LIMITED
Abstract
FEMTO-AAD will play a key role in the UK’s 5 year programme to bring remarkable new concepts in quantum
physics out of research labs and into real-world applications. Chronos Technology, TMD Technologies and the
University of Bath’s Electronics Engineering and Physics Departments have teamed up to research UK-based
hollow core fibre (HCF) manufacturing, a new technique based on quantum physics that promises a generation
of highly-accurate clocks. The consortium will also create a unique Advanced Application Demonstrator (AAD)
that features an ensemble of Quantum Clocks synchronised to UTC – the world timing standard. As HCF and
other new-technology clocks emerge from within FEMTO and the EPSRC Quantum Hub at Birmingham and
Strathclyde Universities they will become candidates to be installed in the Demonstrator, taking over from
traditional technologies. There they will drive the nation’s critical broadcasting and telecommunications
networks with an accuracy and at a cost previously unachievable.
