Benjamin Adams has been working at the UK Quantum Technology Hub Sensors and Timing for three years as part of the gravity team. The team's work focuses on leveraging the power of quantum physics building sensors capable of measuring gravity very precisely. For example, gravity sensors could be deployed to measure tunnels and voids underneath the ground reducing construction costs and timescales significantly. They could also be implemented for navigation applications where one could not rely on GPS due to security or terrain challenges. Ben's specific area of research is focused on improving the measurement speed or bandwidth of gravity sensors to aid their deployment into mobile environments and reduce survey times significantly.
