Aquark Technologies has successfully demonstrated continuous trapping of cold atoms suitable for sensing while flying on a drone. The world's first achievement will support an array of applications, including enhanced navigation, precise measurements, and situational awareness, all with the potential to revolutionize multiple industries.

Aquark Technologies recently conducted field trials validating the trapping, cooling, and continuous operation of cold atoms while airborne on a quadcopter drone. The trials were run in partnership and joint-funded by MBDA and Innovate UK Project: (10028190) and flown by Wright Airborne Computing.

The entire system, weighing less than 10 kg, withstood freezing temperatures, high humidity fog, and complex maneuvers, operating for over an hour on internal power during full-day trials.

Cold atom-based quantum technology leverages group one or two elements, such as Rubidium, in ultra-high vacuum conditions (10-8 mbar) and precisely tuned lasers to confine and slow down atoms for the manipulation of quantum states of superposition and entanglement.
