| Description | Quantum metrology is an exciting and rapidly expanding area of quantum physics. This involves using quantum correlations (called entanglement) to improve the precision by which a range of measurements can be made beyond what is possible using conventional methods. The problem is that entanglement is very fragile to any external influence and so it is important that ways are found for performing quantum metrology in a robust way. This project successful identified routes for achieving this. It showed how certain types of entanglement could be created that are much more robust to noise and so more suited to quantum metrology. It also explored a range of interesting applications such as creating ultra-precise gyroscopes using atoms. |
| Exploitation Route | This research could be used in new measurement and sensing technologies as well as quantum communications and computation. This project has led to follow-up funding from DSTL with a view to exploiting the research outcomes in new sensing technologies. |
