£ 7.2m quantum network to develop technology to probe mysteries of the Universe | Imperial News
The Atomic Interferometry Observatory and Network (AION), led by Imperial researchers, will accelerate research on dark matter and gravitational waves. The science of UKRI Technology and the Facilities Council (STFC) provided £ 7.2million in seed funding for the project under its new program Quantum Technologies for Fundamental Physics. AION is a unique interdisciplinary mission that will harness cold atom technologies to solve key problems in fundamental physics, astrophysics and cosmology that can be achieved in the coming decades. Professor Oliver Buchmueller AION will enable a revolutio...
