GNSS-free quantum gravity-aided navigation and fine-scale marine surveying with a strapdown quantum gravimeter

Patrick J. Everitt, Donald H. White, Todd Lyon +19

Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) are often disrupted or unavailable at sea, and unaided inertial navigation systems (INS) drift without correction. Quantum-sensing-based…

Impact of rotation on a cold atom interferometer and compensation strategy

Noémie Marquet, Yannick Bidel, Malo Cadoret +8

Rotations play a detrimental role in achieving ultra-high-performance inertial measurements with an atom interferometer, leading potentially to a total loss of interference contras…

Comparison and optimisation of hybridization algorithms for onboard classical and quantum accelerometers

Benoit Kaczmarczuk, Yannick Bidel, Alexandre Bresson +6

We study two hybridization algorithms used for the combination of a quantum inertial sensor based on atom interferometry with a classical inertial sensor for onboard acceleration m…

Quantum sensing of acceleration and rotation by interfering magnetically-launched atoms

Clément Salducci, Yannick Bidel, Malo Cadoret +6

Accurate measurement of inertial quantities is essential in geophysics, geodesy, fundamental physics and navigation. For instance, inertial navigation systems require stable inerti…

Metrology of microwave fields based on trap-loss spectroscopy with cold Rydberg atoms

Romain Duverger, Alexis Bonnin, Romain Granier +7

We demonstrate a new approach for the metrology of microwave fields based on the trap-loss-spectroscopy of cold Rydberg atoms in a magneto-optical trap. Compared to state-of-the-ar…

Airborne absolute gravimetry with a quantum sensor, comparison with classical technologies

Yannick Bidel, Nassim Zahzam, Alexandre Bresson +14

We report an airborne gravity survey with an absolute gravimeter based on atom interferometry and two relative gravimeters: a classical LaCoste\&Romberg (L\&R) and a novel iMAR str…
