Aquark makes quantum sensing small portable and affordable enough to coexist with existing GNSS infrastructure in an increasingly turbulent world.

Simplicity, combined with a software-like, iterative approach to hardware development, allows us to build cold-atom systems that are robust enough to operate reliably outside the lab.

Advances in quantum‑enabled photonics are unlocking new opportunities to enhance data integrity across both scientific and commercial applications.

The increasing need for GNSS-denied navigation due to the risks of spoofing has led to a quantum step-change in the development of atomic clock technology.

Perhaps the most revolutionary applications of quantum technology are those we cannot yet imagine. Only when these technologies operate in concert will we begin to see the full potential of the quantum era.

The clock is ticking. Our dependence on GNSS makes our critical infrastructure vulnerable. The mission to find an alternative is urgently underway.

This whitepaper examines how the United Kingdom and the Netherlands can leverage their strengths in cold atom quantum technology to enhance education and accelerate research. Quantum technologies offer disruptive capabilities unmatched by conventional methods, and the ability to apply them effectively will be a critical economic advantage. Achieving this requires substantial investment—particularly in time, resources, funding, and skilled talent. Download PDF.
